variables in main page used in chart

Can anyone explain to me how I can pass a variable that I use in the main page that has my flash chart to the *_data1.asp page? I have a variable in the main page that I want to use in the select query and am not sure how I can pass this through?

Another question is does anyone know how to add more grid lines in either of the axis's?

Any help would be appreciated.

You should be able to save a session variable and reference it on the data page.

the x axis and y axis tags in the xml should allow you to add more grid lines as well. View the help documentation about the xml syntax to use.

Thanks Ray
I tried the following but couldn't get it to work.

In my main page (we'll call it mypage.asp) I have the following code

<%
strPITagname = "opcLab-19"
Session("cTag")=strPITagname
%>

I then test that it contains a value on this page by the following code which displays the correct value opcLab-19

<%Response.Write(Session("cTag"))%>

Then in my mypage_data.asp I have the following

Tag=Session("cTag")

and then go on to use the Tag variable in my SELECT query. Problem is I don't believe that the session variable is being carried over to this page? ...I know that the select query works because if I replace

Tag=Session("cTag")
with
Tag="opcLab-19"
then the chart loads correctly.

Any ideas

sorry one more thing. when I run the mypage_data.asp with the following

Tag=Session("cTag")
if Tag ="" Then
Tag = "opcLab-19"
End If

Then it loads correctly with data. If I run it with just

Tag=Session("cTag")

then it loads correctly as well. Difference is that in the first case when running mypage.asp the chart will show in the second case an error shows up in place of the chart. I can only see part of the error as its showing the full path but it looks like its referencing the mypage_dataparser.asp page?

OK... in ASP sessions aren't maintained. I think you need to pass it in the URL.

Sorry for the confusion I'm so used to working with php these days.

I believe you can pass the data in the chart reference url where the mypage_dataparser.asp is referenced add: ?cTag=opcLab-19

and use Request.QueryString("opcLab-19") to refer to the value.

ok I'll try the URL advise and get back to you

Is this the URL you are ref'ing to in my mypage.asp

<param name="movie" value="../DynamicWebCharts/open-flash-chart.swf?data=../DynamicWebCharts/Data/mypage_dataparser.asp?<%=Request.QueryString()%>" />

Just noticed that the dataparser is in to placed for this object. See below for the full code entered for this object. Can you help me understand where in there it needs to go.
