Form Action with accompanied variable

<i><b>Originally posted by : Arbil (ricky@rickysantos.com)</b></i><br />I have this link which calls on data.asp and a variable named action w/c gets a certain value from a query.<br /><br /><a href="data.asp?action=finda?ocode=<%=rstQuery("GEOCODE")%>....<br /><br />Here's the portion of the data.asp file:<br /><br />Dim vAction<br />Dim vSource<br /><br />Set vAction = Request.QueryString("action")<br />Set vSource = Request.QueryString("source")<br /><br />Select case vAction<br /> case "ZoomIn" ' Zoom In <br /> mapimage.CenterAt x, y <br /> mapimage.DoZoom 1<br /> mapimage.Refresh<br /><br /> case "ZoomOut" 'Zoom Out<br /> mapimage.CenterAt x, y<br /> mapimage.DoZoom -1<br /> mapimage.Refresh<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br />End Select<br /><br /><br />This one works fine. I have to do the same approach but this time I'm calling the data.asp from a Form Action like this:<br /><br /><form method="get" action="data.asp"><br /><br />I tried to follow the same approach I made above by using a different variable but it doesn't work with Form Action. What will be the solution here so that when I click on the submit button the form will call on data.asp and pass whatever variable it is to the Select Case method?<br /><br />Can anyone help me with this? I'll appreciate it very much.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br />
