URL question

[Varen Swaab]

Thanks everyone,

I appreciate the help but nothing has worked for me. I agree, the 
examples you are giving should work and if I simply put a numerical 
value in place of the variable it works just fine, but the variable 
just doesn't work. Do you have any idea why it wouldn't work? This is 
pretty simple code so it must be another factor, I just can't think of 
what...hmmmm.

Thanks

Var
