the code below checks if Request("email" is empty, if it is it takes the value of ("name" and ("postcode", strips out the blank spaces and asigns to variable email in the format 'name@postcode'

my problems comes in replacing the orinal Request("email" string.. i have tried request.QueryString("email" = email as per the code below but no luck.

i have included the record insert code below the email code for your ref...

can anyone please tell me what im doing wrong

if Request.QueryString("email" ="" then
Dim zip
DIM stremail
Dim strzip
strname = Request("name"
strzip = Request("postcode"

email = Replace(strname, " ", "" + "@" + Replace(strzip, " ", ""
request.QueryString("email" = email
End if

the field i need replaciing is email.

' *** Insert Record: set variables

If (CStr(Request("MM_insert") = "form1" Then

MM_editConnection = MM_conn_pegsales_STRING
MM_editTable = "customers"
MM_editRedirectUrl = "viewall.asp"
MM_fieldsStr = "name|value|company|value|add1|value|add2|value|county|value|postcode|value|country|value|tel|value|fax|value|email|value"
MM_columnsStr = "name|',none,''|company|',none,''|add1|',none,''|add2|',none,''|county|',none,''|postcode|',none,''|country|',none,''|tel|',none,''|fax|',none,''|email|',none,''"

your problem is the request.QueryString("email" = email line at the end of your code right before the End If. Request.Querystring is read only.
