I want to use the CNIC(numeric) field of master table on the add page of child table page. I use this function in before Process record values.
sql="SELECT CNIC_NO from LGCD_EMPLOYEES WHERE CNIC_NO=" & session("CNIC_NO")

rs=CustomQuery(sql)

values("CNIC_NO")=rs("CNIC_NO")
When I access the child table record I use the following error.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07'
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
/hrm/include/dal.asp, line 255
How I should resolve this error.

If CNIC_NO is a text field your SQL query should look like this:

sql="SELECT CNIC_NO from LGCD_EMPLOYEES WHERE CNIC_NO='" & session("CNIC_NO") & "'"

Thanks for replying.
My CNIC_NO field data type in both tables is numeric. I used a button in the view page of the master table to access the add page of child table. I want to display the view page CNIC_NO on the add page of the child page.
If I give fixed value of CNIC it works perfectly. the code is given as under
sql="SELECT CNIC_NO from LGCD_EMPLOYEES WHERE CNIC_NO= '" & 2345678912345 & "'"
But if I use session variable it gives the error. the code is given as under
sql="SELECT CNIC_NO from LGCD_EMPLOYEES WHERE CNIC_NO= '"& session("CNIC_NO") & "'"

I guess you need to make sure that session("CNIC_NO") session variable is populated. It looks like this variable is empty.

Thanks for replying. How should I populate the value to the session variable. Can you help me for solving this problem

Before using any session variable you need to assign some value to this variable. Where this it needs to bedone and how - greatly depends on details of your application.
Here is the sample syntax:

session("CNIC_NO")="Some value"
