Missing Form Values

I have a problem where form values go missing. The are several forms on one page with indivdual names (i.e. form1, form2) but with the same fields. Whenever the form is submitted via post the values disappear. It only happens on this one particular page.

The odd thing is that if I do a response.write with the variable and then a response.end write after it it shows up perfectly. The page is just a basic record update page. If I do a response.flush() it works as well (up until the redirect). I am leaning towards a response buffer problem but still don't understand why it is happening.
