Thread: Posting combo box values

Hello,

When are hard code :

tickets = 1000

into my page, the code counts the database for values and an IF statement checks if the value is greater than tickets then write a message. It all works fine

But when i have a different page and construct a form it does not seem to function correctly.

Code:

If CInt(availabilityRS("TicketCount")) > tickets Then 
    Response.Write "There are enough tickets in the DB"
ElseIf CInt(availabilityRS("TicketCount")) < tickets Then
    Response.Write "There are not enough tickets in the DB"
End If

I also have this on my page:

Code:

tickets=request.form("tickets")

which should retrieve the value from the combo box and put it in memory.

When i response.write what is in 'tickets' i get the correct number, so i think the IF statement doesn't fire properly..?

Any ideas?
