Hi guys, I have a small problem that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have a query string that sends a bunch of paramaters to the next page behind a button but when I try to read out them in the next page one of the paramaters is gettin lost. When I run the code locally on my development DB the code runs fine and the paramater is there but when I connect to my customers DB and run the code the parameter is getting lost. For a quick fix I just stored the variable in Session and read it out that way but I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas. thanks guys in advance. My query string:

VB

Response.Redirect(ADestinations.aspx?AutoloaderFileId=" & AutoloaderFileId & _
                       "&TypeId=" & TypeId & _
                       "&RateListId=" & RateListId & _
                       "&RateListName=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(RateListName) & _
                       "&OutputTo=" & OutputTo & _
                       "&Letter=" & Letter & _
                       "&StatusId=" & StatusId & _
                       "&CurrentPageIndex=" & CurrentPageIndex & _
                       "&FileName=" & FileName & _
                        "&UploadedCloseURL=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(csUploadedCloseURL))

The csUploadedCloseURL is being lost somewhere.
Cheers

How do you know it is getting lost? Are you actually looking in the URL or do you have code looking for it?

I'm setting the parameter to a variable on page_load. On my development DB it is present but not from my customers, I debugged through the code and the URL is fully populated in both cases behind the click event of the button, cheers

What version of IE? I don't know what the limit is now but previous versions of IE had a rather small limit on how long the querystring could be.

Using IE 7, yeah I hadn't considered that. But would that not just throw an error if the query string was to long?

I don't think it does. I had that issue a few years ago and found it just truncated it with no error.

Check the length of your query string. You may be exceeding the limit and it is getting truncated.
