Ok so how would you have it return a set of results containing two different names????????

Thanks,

Ok, first of all:

?name=value

is a "name/value" pair.

So I'm assuming you want to return records where the same name might have a different value? No problem just make them a delimited string, and then split it. Although (as in my previous post) I would be wary of using querystring for this unless you validate that the data is of a type that cannot be used maliciously.

Can you explain in more detail what you're trying to do?

i'd like this to return results from two apple types instead of just one.

Inother words I need results to show from both macintosh and granny smith of type apples.

A form can have multiple fields with the SAME name so you could get a url coming in like this:

http://www.test.not/page.asp?field=apple&type=GrannySmith&type=Macintosh

When you go to retrieve the "type" using Request.querystring you'll get an array instead of a single value. It's then just a simple matter of handing the result.
