right, im trying to add a preview function to a form ive made.

i get the window to open , but im having a problem carrying my data over to the preview window.

i get an error when im trying to show a memo field using Replace to format the line breaks.

Error message i get is ::
Cannot use parentheses when calling a sub

Ive looked it up in the MSDN scripting section and it tells me that im calling the sub without using the Call function, or to remove the parentheses from the statement.

anyone done this successfully?

Regards,
Dave

Are you using the followoing:

<% = Replace(rsName("FieldName", VbCrLF, "<br>" %>

If so, there could be a ' character that is screwing your code up in the memo field... If so, you will have to reaplce that character as well.

testing line 2
testing line 3
end test line 4

<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>Try putting the word "call" before the function that is throwing this error. It will solve the problem. I run acrosss it often.

sorry, i can be an idiot at times.

i am using this code
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;% = Replace(Request.Form("txtComments", VbCrLF, "&lt;br&gt;" %&gt; </font id=code></pre id=code>

not the replace.rs.fields code as the record doesnt even exist yet .DOH!

Put Call before what?

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;% = Call Replace(Request......) </font id=code></pre id=code>

like so ??

Hmmm. I use that all the time. Are you sure thats the line of code causing the error? Have you commented out this line?

My only other suggestion would be to substitute response.write for the "=".

well the reason the data isnt being passed is because the form isnt getting posted properly.

it will post ok if i hit the submit button, but the preview button has no value other than to pop open a page.

can i have 2 submit actions doing 2 different things?

only ever used forms for basic purposes before.

answered my own question.

sorted it now guys, thx for your input.

had to use the onClick function on my 2 submit buttons, left the form action blank, and assigned each button a form action .

all works, so happy days <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
