Basically i am reworking my nav menu in inc_header.asp, and I am building a url for another page on my site and I want to use the M_OCCUPATION in the url like so:

<a href="pagelisting.aspx?<%=M_OCCUPATION%>" title="Listing">My listing</a>

Obviously the above doesn't work or I wouldn't be posting...

Do you have a variable called M_OCCUPATION? I assume you're wanting to use the value of the M_OCCUPATION field in the members table? My recommendation would be to assign it to a variable in the chkUser function, in the same way the value is assigned to the MemberID variable. You might also want to add a conditional so that that link isn't displayed if a member hasn't entered their occupation in their profile or if they're not logged in.

If I wanted to use the value of Occupation from the profile to build a url in a non-forum page, including an if statement to redirect if they are not logged in where do I start.... I am hoping to get the URL to look like this www.mysite.com/listing.asp?listingID=M_Occupation (M_Occupation being the value of Occupation that a user entered in their profile)
I know I need to add includes...which ones?
With inc_header do I use the short one, so it won't mess up my current non-forum header?
What code do I use to call the variable in the page? (I know how to do a basic asp call, but do I need to do something diffrent using snitz code)<
