Hi there,

I have set up a screen in ASP / Dreamweaver that needs to capture start date and end date and add it to an Access database. I originally had a text field with a java calendar to the right that let you pick a date and auto-fill the relevant text box on click. This worked fine, but inserted the date in US format.
The client hated this.

So to get around this I thought I would have 3 drop-down lists - EndDay, EndMonth, EndYear.

I have a hidden field entitled FinishDate. On submit I have the following code (on line 45):

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>request("form1".item("FinishDate" =request("EndMonth" & "/" & request("EndDay" & "/" & request("EndYear"<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

When I hit submit on the created page I get the following error:

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
Request object error 'ASP 0103 : 80004005'

Expecting numeric input

/cpd/ongoingactivitysingle.asp, line 45

The function expects a number as input.
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Why is it expecting a number?

Hi Chris

Why not try something like this

&lt;input name="FinishDate" type="text" id="FinishDate" value="&lt;%=request.form("EndMonth"%&gt;&&lt;%response.write("/"%&gt;&&lt;%=request.form("EndDay"%&gt;&&lt;%response.write("/"%&gt;&&lt;%=request.form("EndYear"%&gt;" /&gt;
