Well, i have made a register.asp having a form that insert into a DB table using the [ UD Insert Form ] !! fine, it works good, and it redirect to page welcome.asp !! now on that page i made a command that Automatically inserts one record in ANOTHER table in the DB with the SAME username he JUST registered!! but i found out that the form doesnt post anything to welcome.asp... so any suggestions on how to make the form post the username the user choosed to welcome.asp ? or there may be an easier way which is to put that COMMAND in the register.asp instead of welcome.asp but i dont know how to make the command run ONLY when the submit button is pressed, and will it be able to accept the variable passed from the text feild [ username ] of the form sumitted on the same page ????

i know this seems so quizzy and messy but i hope someone have a solution 4 that <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

How about setting up a simple Session Variable on Welcome.asp "MM_Username" so that when he/she has registered and submitted their info you can display a welcome for them like as they enter the page.
I hope i'm on the right track for your question here, if not please explain a bit better what you need

To make the command run only when the submit button is presed:

If you are using an actual button:

&lt;%
If Request("Submit" &lt;&gt; "" Then

INSERT, UPDATE OR DELETE COMMAND CODE

End If
%&gt;

If you are using an image field this won't work, an easy work around is to use a bit of JavaScript to update a hidden field, something like:

&lt;input type="image" border="0" name="imageField" src="Images/linuxhosting.gif" width="150" height="50" onClick="UpdateField()"&gt;

Then create your JavaScript Function:

function UpdateField(){
document.FormName.HiddenFieldName.value = 1
}

Then your command code:

&lt;%
If Request("HiddenFieldName" = 1 Then

INSERT, UPDATE OR DELETE COMMAND CODE

End If
%&gt;

Owen.

Have a look at this post.

Instead of using the mail script just after the insert, use an insert stored procedure instead of on your home page.

Regards,
