Disable/Enable Links to another page...: Microsoft, VWD 2005, VB

Experts...

Yes...still a rookie here so I'll try to be as clear as possible. I have 2 .aspx pages:

Page 1) products_lookup22.aspx
Page 2) products_EMail.aspx

"Page 1" has a search then a gridview (Like a Summary) that list general information about a product as in:

(Summary)
"Catalog" "Vendor" "Description" "Rec#"
details 77L8453001D ADVANCE 400 WHPS BLST 38
details TQC1110WL GE-ED&C BRKR CIRCUIT 1P10A 1424
details ICQ693MDL330 GE-ED&C OUT MODULE 2A 1674
details IC697PWR711 GE-FANUC 9070 POW SUP 1682
(ETC...)

IF the user clicks on the link "details" we open a "DetailsView" just below the summary grid that provides specifics on just the single record (example: we click "details" for record 38). We see...

(Details)
Vendor: ADVANCE
CATALOG: 77L8453001D
DESCRIPTION: 400 WHPS BLST
NAED V/I: 781087-11529
SOLD BY: EA
IN STOCK: 6
LIST PRICE: $133.66

Now the problem is when I first bring up the first page (products_lookup22.aspx) it has a Search box that cannot be blank (using a validator)...so when the user enters any text/values it does the search BUT I (currently) provide a link to page 2 (products_EMail.aspx) that needs to pass the param RecordID2. If they don't click on a specific detail in the Summary we have no param to pass and it blows up (obviously)!

I need to "Grey Out" the option "Request a Quote for this Item..." until they actually click on the detail link (as shown in products_lookup22.aspx). Once they do it needs to 'enable' the link "Request a Quote for this Item...".

Any ideas would be appreciated. Code Snippet attanched.

Thanks again...
