VBscript - AddDate Function using a variable

Hello,

I need to use the AddDate Function but include a variable to using a variable. so instead of ....

DateAdd("d", 7, Now())


Instead of the "7" - I would like to use a variable i.e.

Dim variable

variable = request ("textbox_value")

Response.Write DateAdd("d", " & variable & ", Now())


I cant seem to get this to work. has anyone got any ideas??

Thanks

Dont use " & X & "
use "'" & X "'"
the "'" is " ' " it tells the compiler that U R using a var

Why not just
DateAdd("d", variable, Now())

thanks. I had it working with just:

DateAdd("d", variable, Now())
