  Issue with Request.Form() Reply Contact I'm having problems with Request.Form() eliminating spaces between words from the form's input field.  Here is a sample of the Request.Form() code: SGBAT_LN4 = Request.form("G_DIRECT_ORDER-ZZPERS_LN4") Say if someone inputs "Hello there people" on the form.  It prints out as "Hellotherepeople." Also the form is written in ASP.net and being trasported via url when being submitted and the page recieving the data is written in Classic ASP.

  Re: Issue with Request.Form() Reply Contact I can't think of anything that would cause the spaces to be stripped out except for some code.  I would try   SGBAT_LN4 = Request.form("G_DIRECT_ORDER-ZZPERS_LN4") response.write SBBAT_LN4 and see what your value is.

  Re: Issue with Request.Form() Reply Contact I must say I can't reproduce the issue.  I wrote a simple asp.net page and it kept the spaces.  You have something in code, an isapi or module messing with the data. Hope the code looks good. <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="space.aspx.vb" Inherits="space" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> Partial Class space Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If Page.IsPostBack = True Then Response.Write(TextBox1.Text) End If End Sub End Class </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div>   <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <br /> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />   </div> </form> </body> </html> Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS MCTS - Windows Hosting http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.iislogs.com http://www.orcsweb.com/ Managed Hosting Solutions #1 in Service and Support

  Re: Issue with Request.Form() Reply Contact Please show us the code on exactly how you are doing this.  Again, I don't think there's any need to URL encode the data as it is getting posted and not place in the querystring.  What does URL encoding the data have to do with two systems in two different places? Another though I had last night is that within the recipient ASP page you can not reference the form field by it's ASP.NET server control ID.  You have to use something in a format like: Request.Form("ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$TextBox1") Look at the HTML source of your ASP.NET form to find the exact name you should use for the textbox.
