You can do it either way. I separated them to make it easy to explain. What you could do is have a variable to hold the form string and then build that in your select statement.

For example:

Dim intStep
Dim strBuildForm

intStep = Request.QueryString("step")

Select Case intStep
     Case 1
          strBuildForm = "tags and stuff go in here"
     Case 2
          strBuildForm = "more tags and stuff go in here"
     Case Else
          strBuildForm = "and more tags and stuff go in here"
End Select

Response.Write strBuildForm
%>

what you have suggested makes sense and is the direction I head with my work on it yesterday. I have a question about your suggestion through --

In your select case statement, the block of code that is executed if the case is met -- what I want is to do a response.write that displays the form. Is it okay to do it that way? I like how you put all your form code together, but if I did it that way, what goes in the case statement?

Just submit the form to itself and use querystring values to go through the different steps.

For example:

<%
Dim intStep

intStep = Request.QueryString("step")

Select Case intStep
     Case 1
          Code goes here
     Case 2
          Code goes here
     Case Else
          Code goes here
End Select
%>

<form>
<% If intStep = 1 Then %>
form stuff here
<% ElseIf intStep = 2 Then %>
more form stuff here
<% Else %>
default for stuff here
<% End If %>
</form>
