am sure for some of you my problem is a joke, but i can't find in
my books or on the net the string i need.

i need to display the ITEM shown in catalogall.asp page in its own
item.asp page. i can request the page to open, but i can't find the
proper syntax to bring the requested ITEM on this page. maybe i am
looking for the Response syntax if there;s such a term.

i use SQL server/MS Access database with the column `ITEM':

i have am Object Request syntax on Catalogall.asp page:

ex: http://www.site.com/catalogall.asp?ITEM=


it gets me to my item.asp page, but i need to complete the SQL
statement. so far i know about

SQL = "SELECT * FROM CATALOG WHERE ITEM = ?
