I cannot use variable to call a member of recordset. Plz look

Lets say I have created a Recordset named MySET.
And I have a value passed from a form: Request.Form.Key(1)

--------------------------------
Response.Write MySET("member") --> Prints George to screen

Response.Write Request.Form.Key(1) --> Prints member to screen

Val = Request.Form.Key(1)
Response.Write Val ---> Prints member to screen

And Finally
Response.Write Myset(Val) ---> Returns This error:
ADO Could not find the object in the collection corresponding to the name or ordinal reference requested by the collection.

Now we are sure that value of the Val is "member" Why is this not working?
I am going to go mad!!! Please help!

how bout pasting a code block?

I found the problem....
I trimmed the VAL variable and it solved

Actually it has no spaces at all. When I write it many times without any carriage return or space, It seems like this:

membermembermembermember

But strangely doesn't work without Trim...

you were prolly putting a space after member in the form. in such case, its not very weird that you have to use trim, because the variable will contain member and trailing space, so equivalently is val is "member " which has no column in the database.
