how to insert predefined data from an href link into a form?

I've got a wild client need here that I'm not sure is even possible... any
help is appreciated folks..

Client wants to have a link either as a set href, or emailed, that contains
a specific piece of data... the link will point to a form that when rendered
in the browser, takes that predefined data and inserts it into a
specifically named field on the form.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Advil?

If you mean something such as:

pageurl.asp?MessageType=ErrorReport

then you could simply use the Value of the form field to place the text within
the url variable, such as:

value="<%=Request("MessageType")%>"

Just remember the text can not be that long, I am not sure of the length cut
of, but always best to keep it down.

Hope this helps.
