Hi. i need to pass a variable from a link,  (below), as u can see i have the id=1234.... what i need is that 1234 to be displaced in a text box in the list. Please help.

Thanks.

www.sharepointsite.com/list/newitem.aspx?id=1234

MyTextBox.Text = Page.Request.QueryString("id");

Hi Paul, could you please elaborate a bit about your answer please.

The solotuion makes sense, but where do i write that line of code in?

in SPD?

Thanks.

Hi Vishan,

What are you trying to achieve? Looking at your post again, you are referencing the newitem page which one normally wouldn't call with an ID as it's designed to create a new id when a new item is created. (I could understand the editform being called this way).

Anyway, basically if you want to run inline code, you'll need to make some alterations to your setup to allow it. A past colleague of mine posted a blog about this a while ago (PageParserPaths) http://geekswithblogs.net/sevans/Default.aspx

Then once you've done that it would be a matter of adding a script block to the ASPX page with the code above, it it.

Cheers,

Paul.

We have now kind of changed the scenario.

A user is sent an e-mail with an ID number..

I have created a survey with a column called "ID Number"

is there a way i can get the id number from the e-mail to appear in the column ID Number
