I know when you create a Link, you can add parameters to pass along. Can you do the samething with a button? I would rather use a button for this use, not a link.
Thanks in advance,
Don

Don,
You can do this through either Javascript or the onclick event (forms).
My suggestion is Javascript calling a function.

I had tried using the onClick event but did not know how to code it. What would be the syntax for passing the pramater from the onClick event on a form?

Don,
The Onclick event fires exactly as the submit of a form works.
Add the onclick event to the button, ensuring that the button's CCS functions (Add/Update/Delete) are NOT set to anything.
In the event get the parameters you want from the form using code such as
Dim UserID
UserID = CCGetParam("UserID", Empty)
If Not IsEmpty(UserID) Then
UnloadPage()
Reponse.Redirect "NewWindow.asp?UserID=" & UserID
End If
Hope that helps
Edd

CCS3.
This is a useful technique but I cannot seem to get it working. So what am I doing wrong? I have a page open in the designer and in the toolbox I have the "Forms" tab selected. From this I click on "Button" and on so doing, a button is placed on the form. Then on the button Event properties I right-click on "On Click" in the Server node and select [Add Code]. This opens the events ASP page and I insert the following custom code, which is pretty much exactly what you recommend:
Function Button1_OnClick(Sender) 'Button1_OnClick @519-4C5ACEF5
'Custom Code @520-73254650
Dim BRL_ID
' -------------------------
BRL_ID = CCGetParam("BRL_ID", Empty)
If Not IsEmpty(BRL_ID) Then
UnloadPage()
Response.Redirect "WEB_FLEET_MEASURES.asp?BRL_ID=" & BRL_ID
Else
Response.Redirect "EMPTY_PARAM.htm"
End If
' -------------------------
'End Custom Code
I have added the Else clause to cause an action if the parameter is empty. When I publish the page, the button appears but on clicking it nothing happens.
Any ideas? Also, what is meant by "ensuring that the button's CCS functions (Add/Update/Delete) are NOT set to anything." ? I can see no obvious reference to such properties.
Kind regards
Paul

Ok guys (and gals).
I haven't solved this problem, but I have circumvented it by changing the application design. No need to bust a gut on this.
Thanks for looking anyway.
Paul

You need to use Javascript to do this actually.
Since the code has a .js file, I cannot properly post a copy/paste answer to your question.
So, I've zipped the code necessary for you to perform this easily and have posted the file on http://dmpro.dataobjx.net.
After logging in, go to the documents area then click on Public Documents.
Locate and download the file called: ASP RequestQuerystring To Javascript
Contained within the file is a text file containing the script blocks that you place between the <head></head> section. You then modify it to accommodate any querystring values and then - you should be all set.
Hope this helps...

I was reading the subject and went to the specified site to get the mentioned zip file. After registering and logging in, I see nothing like "Public Documents".
