Hi there

I followed the tutorial on the guestbook very closely, basically just adding a field in the DB to suit my needs.  My problem comes with the delete routine.  The file where i choose the record i want to delete works fine, but when i pass the index number of the record to be deleted to the actual file which does the deleting, i get the page cannot be found.

ie. DBdelete?2 or any other integer give me page cannot be found.

If i hardcode the integer into DBdelete, it deletes the right record.  If I try to run DBdelete, it crashes because i have no supplied it with a number.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you for your time.

are you sending it in a querystring ..

because DBdelete?2 needs to be something like DBdelete?ID=2

notice the red section .. you are missing .. it might not be ID it might be something else ..... i think thats the problem

Yes, you are right.  That is exactly what the url is.  It is DBdelete?ID=2.  I entered it wrong in my initial post.  If anyone would like to see what happens, the files in question are

http://68.144.208.71/DBdeletechoice.asp - http://68.144.208.71/DBdeletechoice.asp

which passes to

http://68.144.208.71/DBdelete.asp - http://68.144.208.71/DBdelete.asp

Thanks for your reply.

you're passing it to DBdelete

it should be DBdelete.ASP
