>>VB uses the concept of default properties for some objects. The request collection is actually a collection of objects, each with a character property "item" that is the default value. When you don't specify that you actually want to pass the property, your page passes the object instead.

Try from the ASP page Request.QueryString("< var >")

Or pass the entire request object through.

To access these objects from with VFP you would
LPARAMETERS loRequest

lcVar = loRequest.Form("< var >" ).Item()
