I set the "Issue" variable with data entered into the database, so the page knows where to redirect the user after the entry is added.

There are no spaces before or after the data in the database, but when the page is redirected I get a "Page not found" and %28return%29details.asp is what appears in the address bar.

Response.Redirect  "(" & Issue & ")details.asp"

What am I doing wrong?

You can remove trailing spaces uses Trim, however in your case you are including brackets in your redirect:-

Response.Redirect (Issue & "details.asp")

Or:-

Response.Redirect (Trim(Issue) & "details.asp")
