Transfering data from a VB app to a Form Text Box

A

Arne Beruldsen

I have a VB application where I have a couple of items I'd like automatically
transferred to several text boxes on a Front Page form. I can't seem to
figure out the correct URL to use to fill the text box with the required data.

Any suggestions

VB applications run on the desktop and do not as a rule transfer text to a
web page unless the web page is running inside the VB application.

The QueryString information was very helpful. I see how that info is passed.

Now...how do I get the info (eg www.mysite.com?n=Bob) into a text box
contained within a Form. The textbox name is UserName? The value of the
Text Box needs to equal n...but I'm not clear on the exact code that's
required.

Thanks

Get your parameter at the top of the page
<% name = Request.QueryString("n") %>

then in code view insert it in the form field value

value="<%=name%>"
