Neil,
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you sent me that solution, because after looking at it I could tell, I was mistaken completely about knowing how to do it... I should have known that anyway... after all I wouldn't have called for help if I knew it!

Thanks!!
Rick

>Try this. Make certain you have the TextBox's ID.

<script language = 'javascript'>
  function GetTextBoxValue(){
    var oTextBox = document.getElementById('TextBoxID')
    return oTextBox.value
  }
</script>

>>When the user clicks the HTML button it calls a VBScript. In the subroutine in the VBScript I want to access the current value of the textbox and pass that value on as a parameter to another function. The other function is a call to an ActiveX component (ctAalarm.OCX)
