Hi, I am trying to pass the same variable through several dtml docs. The first doc lets you select from pull down menus and the next dtml doc takes this information and inserts the data into the proper field in the database. My next doc is a form for the users to fill out. I keep getting the same error messages about the variable key error or not globally define (after I try something). I have read Dieter's Chap 3 section (very good stuff) and it tells me the object is probably empty. Again, I know I have a syntax error. This is the text that insert the data: <form> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <p><a href="add_part_num">Back to Create Part Number Page</a></p> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('part_num',st1+st2+st3+st4+st5+st6+st7)"> <p><dtml-var part_num> This is the new part number created. <dtml-call expr="create_part_num(REQUEST)"> <p><a href="part_number_form">Fill out Part Number Information</a></p> </form> It is my favorite part_num problem again.
