I have a report that lists a bunch of students.When you click on the student name, it opens up a new page with the an update form, I want to set it up so after a person clicks on the UPDATE button, the record is updated and the window closes, leaving ther person with the original list of names.
How can I do this...help?
Thanks!
Mitch

Well, I sorta don't recommend that you close the window without some kinda confirmation page, but nonetheless, try the following:
Setup the UPDATE SB so that after update, it goes to:
if page is called update.asp
setup for it to goto update.asp?sent=yes
Then in your page code try:
-----------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<%
If Request.QueryString("sent"
= "yes" then
Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>"
Response.Write("<!--"
Response.Write("Self.Close();"
Response.Write("//-->"
Response.Write("</script>"
End If
%>
</head>
<body>
........
---------------------------------------------------------
This should basically now see the sent=yes value that is now appended to the end of the URL and write code which'll add javascript's self.close() function, which'll close the window on page load.
