  Hello,
  I was finishing up a class project for school and was wondering if it is possible to pass the client side variables over to the server side asp.  I keep getting a server error requesting the two missing variables :BDate & EDate.  I didn't want to have to make a seperate asp page to request the info.  Is this still possible?
  <Script Language = "VBScript">
  Dim date1, date2, BDate, EDate
  date1 = InputBox("Enter the Start Date","Input Box", ,1000,1000)
  date2 = InputBox("Enter the End Date","Input Box", ,1000,1000)
  BDate = (date1)
  EDate = (date2)
  </SCRIPT>
  <%
  Dim objCom, oRS, strID
  strID = Session ("ID")
  Set objCom = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
  objCom.ActiveConnection = objConn
  objCom.CommandText = "{CALL dbo.qViewOrders ('"&CStr(strID)&"','"&CDate(BDate)&"','"&CDate(EDate)&"')}"
  objCom.CommandType = adCmdText
  Set oRS = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
  Set oRS = objCom.Execute
  %>

  This can't be done because server side code has already run by the time your client side code asks for those dates. asp and asp.net aplications are parsed by the relevent exe on iis and html is returned according to your server side code. This means you can pass server side variables to be output to client side code.
  The only way to get values from a user and use them in server side code is to get them from a posted form that might ask in your case for the 2 dates.
