Need help passing ID number to multiple pages

[donniea21]

I am trying to insert a new record. The problem is that ther are like 4 pages of fields that need to be filled in. How can I insert the info from page 1, pass the id number, and then do pages 2-4 as a record update(or keep going throug all 4 pages as 1 insert)?

A couple of options to consider here

1. You could use a hidden field to pass the id number using a hidden field like so:
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;idno&quot; value=&quot;<%youridnumber%>&quot;>

2. You could write the idno to a session variable in the asp code like so&quot;
<%Session(&quot;idno&quot = &quot;youridnumber&quot;%>
and then when you need to call it on subsequent pages simply use
<%Response.Write Session(&quot;idno&quot%>
or whatever you need to do with it.

My personal preference is to use hidden fields as it reduces processing by the server but if your site has a relatively small number of users session object should be ok.

Hope this helps.
