trouble with search box
Posted on 2006-11-05
I'm trying to make a search function for my database. Right now I'm working on a very simple version where the user inputs a number into a form and the results page is supposed to show the same numebr from the form. For some reason the results page will only display the default number no matter what I input into the search form. Here is the code for my recordset and the two pages. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Recordset (on results page) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
SELECT ID, item, store, address, description
FROM shoppinglist
WHERE ID = MMColParam
name default value run-time value
MMColParam 1 Request.QueryString("searc
search page code <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
