Calling a client and a server script from one button(or link)!!!

[sherlock1305]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a link(or a button) that will start a download and that will permit me to write data to my database...

Someone knows how I can do it???

Thanks a lot,

Sherlock

Don't quite understand the difficulties there. Write a button that calls ..say PageA.asp.

in PageA.asp, generate a client-side code for window.open( <file you want to download>) and do whatever you need to update the database.

Effectively, the PageA.asp does 2 things, on the Server-side, it writes data to a database and generate a client-side script that downloads a file (in that order).

Hope this helps cheers.

regards,
