MyCommand.Parameters("firstletter") = "g"

I have a simple stored proc. It works fine if I hard code the input parameter. I want to pass the input from an input box on an html form to this parameter.

MyCommand.Parameters("firstletter") = 'whatever the user
'typed in the input box then hit the submit button I want it
'put here.

I tried creating a variable and assigning the input to the variable and then the parameter to the variable. Several variations of something like this:
request.form ('storedproc.htm") username, 1
This did not work. How do I assign the input to a variable and say that:

mycommand.parameters("firstletter") = variable

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On whatever page is handling the form action you need to put:

variable = Request.Form("FieldName")

Then the variable should contain the input from the form field and you can use it in your stored proc.
