Your VBScript, being enclosed in <% ... %> is thus running on the server BEFORRE the page is sent to the browser, and so has no access to the document at this stage. You would need to post the form back to the server in order to be able to get such values....
You can use VBScript client side too, but it's not advosable (cross browser compatibility issues...)

Well, using client side vbscript is the answer (it works). We're not concerned about cross-browser stuff here because it's a DOD intranet site, and the government has a hard-on for IE. Anyway, you get a 5 for giving a workable solution.

Well crap - I want to use the value on the server side, but it won't let me.

well having set it client-side, you can't expect to use it on the server until or unless you post the page back... (or make some ajax style callback)

No, it's not. It's more like a hooker in the red-light district beckoning from the shadows. The site in question is classic ASP. I'm not permitted to use ANY technology other than html, css, javascript, and vbscript. I recommended that we convert it to aspx/C#, but I was told we don't have the funding for that.

Pardon me, I mistook you for someone who knew what AJAX is.

I see you do not understand what AJAX is. 
Here's a question for you, "what does the J in AJAX stand for"?

And presumably that relates to why you can't use AJAX in some way.

And you must have missed the point I was trying to make - I do not have the funding to refactor in any way.
Are you sure you're old enough to be using the web without your parents looking over your shoulder?

Then what are you doing touching the code?

Older than you! But then again I don't go around claiming I know what I am doing because I have X number of years doing it!  Only frauds resort to that tactic!

AJAX is just javascript. If you don't call it AJAX, it's probably fine, if you do, perhaps it's not :P

If it's a server control you can set it in your page prerender event. If it's not, you can add tags to pass the value through, but then it will occur at the start of your page lifecycle.

Hi Christ,
how will I code it if it's a server control?
I hope you can show me a bit of how it will be done 
Thanks

yes, prerender event is the solution. I just added the runat="server" and went toe prerender event, and then added some value. It works!
Thanks Christ

Do you have access to the web server the application is being hosted on? There are a few ways which this can be done most good ones require direct access in some manner to the web server.
If you dont the only way I can suggest is to hold the documents in the database and stream them to the client after doing a permission check, but let me know your circumstances and I will go into a bit more detail if you need it.
