Hi

This is a bit of a weirf question, and I'm not exactly sure where to put it...so Ithought I'd try here since it involved ASPs. I have a form used to collect survey info. It is rather long, so I split it up into many forms. Each form submits it's data to a long form in a hidden frame as it is submitted (so there'a long form in a hidden frame that eventually contains all of the survey data). I want to submit this form to an asp that puts the data into a database and then redirects (Response.redirect) the user to a thank you page. I want this thankyou page to come up in a visible frame though! Also, for debugging purposes, it would be helpful if the asp that processes the data is in a visible frame as well.

The only way I have come up with to do this is to dump all of the form fields into session variables and call them back in the main frame, but this isn't very efficient.

Any better suggestions?

Ben
 
I am not sure I understand exactly what you are doing -
but why don't you let the user create a new database which
upon completion gets merged with the existing one on the
thankyou page ?
