Request.Form("" ) might have returned a Null or nothing value. Replace function will return an error if the string in the first argument is a null/nothing.
If it is possible that Request to a form will return nothing (eg, "event" doesn't exists in your form), it is good that you check the returned value first.
You may use "Is Nothing" or "IsNullOrEm pty" for that...
