Ignore "name". I killfiled him a long time ago because in my
experience, he's never said anything remotely useful.
Obviously you're writing ASP using VBScript, so that runs on the
server, but is your JScript running on the server also? In other
words, are you writing ASP using both VBScript and JScript or is your
JScript being executed on the client-side?
If your JScript is running on the server then there's no reason I know
of why your JScript cannot use the Request object directly. What
error do you get when you do Request("ID") = recordID in JScript?

You can't display a msgbox in server-side code. Well, maybe you can,
but it wouldn't make any sense -- where would the msgbox appear?
However, if your ASP was generating HTML, you could generate
*client-side* script to display a msgbox.
