capture data from hyperlink

S

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how I can capture data from a hyperlink and bring the
data into a form.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
I am using frontpage 03 and Access 03.
Once a ticket has been marked closed , and e-mail is generated to the user
with a url to fill out a quick survey.
I need to have data in this hyper link refer back to the ticket number; so
when the user completes the survey, the data from the survey is related to
the ticket.

ex: servername/application/survey.asp?ticketnumber

Your link should be:

servername/application/survey.asp?tn=ticketnumber

And you capture the parameter value on the page survey.asp using

<% TicketNo=Request.QueryString("tn") %>

Hello Stefan,
First, thank you for replying.
I am new at this, so please bear with me.
The link in the email shows the ticket number, when you click on the link
from the e-mail it takes you to the correct page: (survey.asp)
But I still can't pass the data to access when the submit button is pressed.
It does pass the data from the other fields.
I tried a few different ways, (ie code in the ticket number field, next to
it, at the top of the page, etc) but I can't seem to pass the data.
Can you explain where exactly the code should be in the survey.asp form?
Thank you in advance for your help, I really appreciate it.

Add the TicketNo value from parameter passed on the survey.asp page as:

<% TicketNo=Request.QueryString("tn") %>

to the form on survey.asp form as a hidden form field

<input type ="hidden" name="TicketNo" value="<%=TicketNo %>">

Above Presumes your DB has a field in it for the Ticket Number named: TicketNo
