I'm am posting values to a page and retrieving them via the Request object. I then assign this value to either a Hidden or Session variable. When I go to use the variable, the value is cut off if there was a space included. Ex: 1. oRS.Fields("Country") yields "North America" 2. Submit 3. Request("Country") yields "North America" 4. Session("Country") = request("Country") yields "North" What do I need to do to prevent this??

Try using server.URLEncode() before passing as a querystring. Also check if you form method is POST or GET.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response!

Actually, I have tried that and it creates another issue. It encodes a '+' that I can't get rid of.

So,on my form:

1. Server.URLEncode(oRS.Fields("Country"))
sends "North+America" on the post(BTW: I am doing a Post).

then I try to assign the request to a Session variable:

2. Session("Country") = request("Country")

and gives me "North+America"

I then have the problem of having the '+'. I know assigning Session variables that include spaces is common, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks
