make sure that you have a form tag with a method set to POST. u may also want to try removing your parenthesis around your Request.Form's in your code. That is really expensive to be just a friend. ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

If a checkbox is checked, it automatically get's a value of "on", so don't give the input an initial value: <input type="checkbox" name="myCheckbox"> If it get's checked in the form and then submitted: Dim varCheckbox
Does this make sense or should i elaborate more??? |

Yea but the value="on" shouldn't hurt at all.... should it? I don't see nothing wrong with it, post the full code of both files so I can copy it and try it.... Also this might sound stupid but try the following: Remove the xtra parenthesis from the request.form and change the "on" to caps change it to something like this: If Request.Form("SRF01") = "ON" Then also try something like this: If Request.Form("SRF01") <> "" Then Sounds stupid but with MS technology anything can happen.... If you want you can post both files so I can copy them and be able to figure what's wrong. |

thank you very much everybody.. speccially you pmormr 'Initialse strBody string with the body of the e-mail 'I'm going to look at your rating buttons, and find the level from there strBody = strBody & "<br><br><b>Artwork Enclosed?:</b>" If Request.Form("SRF06") = "ON" Then Thank you pmormr, you saved my day |
.. it works like a charm now

So you just remove the parentesis and change the ON to caps, I thought I was the one who suggested that
