passing data between 2 pages

[Deepiceman]

Hi All,

I have a asp page created which pulls information from an access
database. One of the things it pulls from the database is the address.
I want to put a link on this page which when clicked will open a
smaller new window asking the user to input their address. Once they
input the address and hit submit, the 2 addresses, user inputted (as
starting point) and the one from database (ending point) needs to be
inputted such that a url is formed, leading to the directions page on
yahoo or mapquest or any other site.

My question is how do I take the ending address and pass it over to
this new page (using http_referrer???) and then construct the url to
the directions page.

Thanks in advance.
Mandeep

Here is a mapping querystring I've used before that hopefully might give
you some ideas:

<a
href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&addtohistory=&addr
ess=<%= Server.URLEncode(FamilyAddress) %>&city=&state=&zipcode=<%=
Server.URLEncode(FamilyZip) %>&homesubmit=Get+Map" target="new">
