Request.QueryString read only problem

[needin4mation]

Hi, in my .aspx page I have it so the same page is used for enter and
displaying the data. Entering the data will produce the key from the
database. When I display data, usually, it will be called from another
page using the querystring. Thus, when populating the controls, I get
the key from the querystring do my SELECTs, etc.

I am trying to do this without a referring page other than the one used
to enter data. I could do a redirect, but that seems the wrong way. I
could make a global variable to old the key so on postback I could
detect the key. But I was trying to figure a way to get it in the
querystring collection and assign a value to the tracking_number I am
using for everything else.

Thank you for any help.

You can dynamically add to the query string on the original page, as you are
sending to a complete URL. You cannot add to the query string collection once
you are working with it.

Hope this helps.

by original page do you mean the one that is submitting the data to the
database? The same page?
