Execute SQL Statement

Here is my code

<% Dim State, Names, i
State = Request("State_Query")
Response.Write(State) & "<BR>"
Set RS = objConn.Execute("Select Analyst From State_Analyst_Table Where St = " & State)
Names = RS.GetRows()
For i = 0 to UBound(Names,2)
Response.Write Names(0, i) & "<BR>"
Next
%>

I am trying to use a variable "State_Query" that I get from a previous page in a query on this page. I get an error that there is no value passed to the parameter on the execute line.
