Getting data from Textbox before submitting form

[wings9697]

Hi. I have a small template form in which I'm capturing items recovered from a event location. There are three fields which are the same for each item in the process, and I want to capture their value when the user enters them on the first page, and then repopulate the fields with the data on the subsequent pages. I tried to get the values before I inserted the record into the table, but that failed....

My question is how do I refer to the controls value so that I can read them into a session variable to populate the values into their repective fields on the next page?

Any help is greatly appreciated.... thanks....

Session variables

Session("StartTime") = DateTime.Now

Dim startTime As DateTime = CType(Session("StartTime"), DateTime)

Does this help?

capture before data

on the template form when the user selects 'edit'

Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' CREATE BEFORE USER RECORD
Dim field1label_before As Label = CType(DetailsView2.Rows(1).Cells(1).Controls(1), Label)
field1_before = field1label_before.Text
