Hi all,

<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle> How do i create an update/insert page, without updating a database!

In other words, i want to put some info on one page (as if filling in a form), then another person can view that info on a different page.
Is this possible???
Hope someone can help!

Thanks

A couple of options I can see

The first is to set the value of the form field to a session variable

session("Var1" = cstr(request("formfieldname")

Then display the session variable on the next page

or set the send properties of the form to 'GET' and pick up the value on the next page from the URL parameter

Thanx for your reply Paulo....but, being a newbie, how do i <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

The first thing you need to decide is whether the information you are passing from the from is going to be used on more than one occassion whilst the user is browsing your site.

If the information is just being passed from one page to another then do the following.

in the form properties box that you have on your page change the 'Method' property to 'GET' and enter the URL you want to go to when the user clicks the Submit button in the 'Action' box. This will cause the form field values to be passed to the next page (make a note of each of the field names for future use).

In the page that displays the values from the form, use the data bindings panel and add a Request Variable, a box will be displayed that has a drop down list with different options - select Request.Querystring and enter the name of the field from the form on the previous page. Do this for each field name. Once you have added all the names they will appear in the data bindings panel and you can drag and drop these into the document where you want them to appear.

Thanx - I didn't think it was possible, considering Ultradev works with databases.

Thanx again

Using the same principle previously explained the value of each text box is passed to the next page in the url string. To see this look at the url for this udzone page in the address line of your browser.

You will see that the url is prefixed with a question mark (?) followed by the querystring values i.e 'method=Reply'&'TOPIC_ID=10613' etc.

Multiple fields on a form are passed in the same way so if you had three fields called FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME and LASTNAME and you were passing these to a page called 'DisplayName.asp' the url would look like this:
displayname.asp?FIRSTNAME=Paulo&MIDDLENAME=Jose&LASTNAME=Rossi

Simply pick these values up by creating Request.Querystring values for FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME and LASTNAME or however many fields you want to display
