Is it possible to go from a master page to one of two detail pages? For example, I have a master page listing company projects that currently links to a detail page showing the details for each project but... I would like to use a different detail pages depending upon if the projects are qualitative or quantitative i.e., if they click for details on a qualitative project it would go to the qualitative_details.asp page and then the same for a quantitative_details.asp page.

Thanks for the help

Julie,

This can be accomplished quite easily by putting some CASE statements ASP code into you HTML. I had a similar problem recently that Joel Martinez helped me with.

Looking in the ASP section of UDZONE's Talkzone. The subject title is "Using the If , Then, Else statements? ".

YOu will need to create a category in the database for each document in order for this to work.

Good luck,

Davy

here's the topic Davy mentioned

that was a tough one... but I'm glad we worked through it <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Is this thing on?....

Thank you very much for helping me. I also found this on another Website. Is it essentially saying the same thing or should I just quit trying to confuse myself.

Does anyone know if it's possible to let a number in a recordset select between different detail pages, that is, if the number is 1 and the link is clicked, you go to detail_1; 2 you go to detail_2 etc. Please help me.

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;A href="&lt;%="detail_" & (YourRecordset.Fields.Item("pageID".Value) & ".asp" %&gt;"&gt;link text&lt;/a&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>

The link is generated by writing detail_ first then tagging the pageID from your recordset on the end and finally adding the .asp extension (which could be .htm or whatever).

if I'm reading that correctly, that code you posted should work beautifully.

if it's not working... try looking at the topic that davy started (the link is in the last post), there's a select case statement that would probably work.
