Problem with sending datefield component value

Hi All,

Thank you in advance for reading my thread.

I am trying to send a date value from a datefield component to an asp page.

But so far i have been getting a undefined error when the asp page returns the sent data from the form.

The code:

(actionscript 2.0)
function onSubmit() {

formData = new LoadVars();
formData.dateNew = dateNow.getValue();

asp code:
<%
reply_date = Request.Form(“dateNew”)
returnToFlash ="&reply_date=" & Server.URLEncode(reply_date)

Response.Write returnToFlash
%>

I am new to flash & actionscript and any kind of advice will be extremely helpful.
