changing server side variable with button click

[dspearing]

I'm new to asp, and was wondering how I could change the value of a
server variable when the user clicks a button. The asp page displays a
report using server side vbscript, and I have added an 'export' button
that will copy the report to a file. I need this button to change a
boolean so that the page will re-run, writing the report to the file
instead of the screen.

The button click will have to make another request to the server to rerun
the page. Something like:


<button onclick="location.href='thispage.asp?rerun=1';">Click it</button>

<%

If Request.Querystring("rerun") = "1" Then
'''your code
End If

%>
