Hey all,

Need some help writing from a form in a html page, to a Access database with a ASP file. I have followed the instructions on this websites and tested it on my server which is fully activated to use ASP files.

The example on this website works fine, but I require more than two pieces of information to be added to the database and when I try to add more lines in the ASP file, it no longer works. Any suggestions to why this might be happening?

The example I have followed can be seen in the link below. http://www.webwiz.net/asp/tutorials/add_to_database.as p

Just to give some quick background info, I am making a website about my family tree and would like relatives to be able to submit, their name, contact details, etc online and for this info to go on to a database.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers Pete.

add a new field to the database table, add a new form field and add a new line to insert the data from the new form field into the new table field just like with the other fields.. recordset.fields("fieldname") = Request.Form("formfieldname")
