Re: Checkbox Format

I see. Still the part about the data type of the sclientid field in my original reply still stands. The error message in question will only be returned if the argument passed to the Request.Form method is not of type "C". If you check the memory variables in the error log you will see that this is the case.

I don't see any place in your code where you are setting the value of variable sclientid. Most probably the Request.Form method is complaining because sclientid is not a character string.

I have a table with a list of buyers and I want to send a listing to chosen buyers. To do this I want to use a checkbox then run through the buyers list and check for a checked checkbox. The code snippit is:

<%
IF Request.FormCount("btnchoice") > 0
    FOR I = 1 TO m.lnbuyrecs
    GO I
    IF Request.Form(sclientid) = "1"
       RESPONSE.WRITE("Got IT")
    ENDIF
    ENDFOR
ENDIF
%>

<FORM NAME=addproperty METHOD=post ACTION="abuyertomany.fwx">
    <TABLE CELLSPACING=1 width=100%>
    <%SELECT buyers%>
    <%FOR I = 1 TO m.lnbuyrecs
    GO I%>
     <TR>
         <TD>
             <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME=<%=(sclientid)%> VALUE="1" <%=IIF(Request.Form("TEST") = "1", "checked", "")%>>
         </TD>
     </TR>
<%ENDFOR%>
     <TR>
         <TD>
             <INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME=btnchoice VALUE="Send">
         </TD>
    </TR>

</TABLE>
</FORM>

The error message is:

Message: Invalid FieldName parameter
Program: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\admin\abuyertomany.fxp
Line #: 109
Line: IF Request.Form(sclientid) = "1"

I know that the checkbox syntax is wrong but I cannot figure out the right syntax for the Request.Form. Can someone help please?
