I am the newest of newbies...
I have created a form. 
On submit I would like a fresh page to open so that the user can view their entries priot to a final submit. The second submit would then enter the data into my database . I know how to put the form data into my database  . I just need help with that second page prior to the data actually being inserted into my database.
Thanks and don't make fun of the newbies.

Ok post it to your other page and then you can just use <input type="hidden" value="<%=request.form("whatever")%>" name="whatever"> And then just post it to your database page. |

"Ok post it to your other page" - that is one of my problems. I only know how to take form data and post it directly to my database. I don't know how to post it to another web page prior to it being submitted to the database. What is my first step to posting data from a form to another page? Thanks. |

well I asume you know html so just <form method="post" action="page.asp"> <input type="text" name="field"> </form> something similar to that then on page.asp <form method="post" action="databaseadd.asp"> <input type="hidden" name="field" value="<%=request.form("field")%>"> Are you sure this data is OK? <%=request.form("field")%> <input type="submit" value="Yes"> </form> That will post the confirmation (in hidden fields) to your database page where you can get it by request.form("field").
