move data from form to ASP Value

Need a bit more info, But I'm guessing you want to declare a session variable.
in that case you'd be like
<%
Dim strRecipients
Dim strFirstName
Dim strLastName
Dim strDimmyDim
strRecipients = Request.Form("Recipients"
strFirstName = Request.Form("FirstName"
strLastName = Request.Form("LastName"
strDimmyDim = Request.Form("DimmyDim"
%>
However this will work on a page AFTER the forms submitted. It can't get values that are not there yet.

The site consists of a frameset with a top and bottom frame
The top frame has two butttons that increment, or decrement a value, and (by means of the framset) pass the value to the bottom frame where it is displayed. I need to convert the value that is passed to the bottom frame to a variable in ASP. Please find the code for all three files below:
Top Frame - "frames_t.asp"
<html>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var n = 0 ;
function MM_callJS(jsStr) { //v2.0
return eval(jsStr)
}
n = document.forms[0].value
//-->
</script>
<body>
<center>
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="i" value="">
<input type="button" value="click to increment" onClick="n++; document.forms[0].i.value = 'n is now:' + n; parent.passText
;">
<input type="button" value="click to decrement" onClick="n--; document.forms[0].i.value = 'n is now:' + n; parent.passText;">
</form>
</center></body>
</html>
------------------------------------
Bottom Frame - " frames_b.htm"
<html>
<body>
<form name=yourform>
<input type=text name=msg size=35 value="">
</form>
</body>
</html>
------------------------------------
Frameset - " test.htm"
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function passText(CountJS) {
top.frames['right'].document.yourform.msg.value = CountJS;
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<frameset rows="300,*" frameborder=1>
<frame name="left" src="frames_t.htm">
<frame name="right" src="frames_b.asp">
</frameset><noframes></noframes>
</html>

schase,
Be careful what you call a Session Variable. The Request.Forms you wrote about are not the same as session variables.
The scope of a variable stored in the Session object is limited to the length of the connection of a user to a site. Therefore you can keep a variable handy from one page to the next. The variables that you have shown code for will only last for the page that they are being used.
Just a thought. Ryan

I have tried the code below, but it doesn't appear to work.
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<script language="JavaScript">
var CountJS ;
<% Session("Count" %> = CountJS ;
</script>
<%
Session("Count" = Request.Form("textfield"
Response.Write Session("Count"
%>
<html>
<body>
<p>
</p>
<form name="yourform" method="get" action="test.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="textfield" value="CountJS">
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<script language="JavaScript">
var CountJS ;
<% Session("Count"
%> = CountJS ;</script>
<%
Session("Count"
= Request.Form("textfield"Response.Write Session("Count"
%>
<html>
<body>
