Datatype nightmare?

[gorilla1]

I have a counter and I then put it into the querystring portion of a link. if the viewer clciks the link, a record will be deleted. So i do a response.querystring to get the value of the counter - i.e. the index into my array. Then I count through the array, looking for when the counter of the array equals the counter retrieved from the querystring. I do a compare and inspecting it, I find that the comparison of 3 to 3 turns out not to be equal. So I guess they must end up as different variable types? How can I pass the index successfully?

Can't you use a conversion function?
CStr or CInt ?

maybe something like

if CInt(request.querystring("variable") = CInt (whatever) then

Nice, yes, thanks.
