Pass a Hidden Value
To pass a hidden value from one page in a web and then use that value to query another page, follow these steps:  Open the file that contains the form from which the hidden value must be passed. Right-click the form, and then click Form Properties. In the Form Properties dialog box, click Advanced. In the Advanced Form Properties dialog box, click Add. In the Name/Value Pair dialog box, type the name of the field that needs to be passed in the Name box. If the first form uses the POST method, type the following data in the Value box:

<% = request(&quot;field_name&quot;) %>

-or-

If the first form uses the GET method, type the following data in the Value box:

<% = request.querystring(&quot;field_name&quot;) %>

</ol>

The resulting Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a hidden tag that looks like one of the following:
 * <input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;form_field&quot; value=&quot;<% =request(&quot;form_field&quot;) %>&quot;>


 * <input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;form_field&quot; value=&quot;<% =request.querystring(&quot;form_field&quot;) %>&quot;>
