I've got a form ASP page talking to a SQL 2000 database and I'd like to allow the user to "double-check" his work before the final submit happens. How can I provide the user with a way to "go back" to the form while preserving their data that they entered, or display it in some sort of "final check" screen before the final submit happens so they can verify the information is correct? Thanks.
 
David,

I would just set the form action to a "go-between" asp page that would gather the form results, write them into another form in "hidden" fields, then display the results on the page, along with a submit button. THIS form action would go to your actual DB-insert asp page (where the user info stored in the hidden fields would be extracted and inserted), but at least the user would have the option of reviewing his/her information on the "go-between" page, then clicking their BACK button to make corrections BEFORE the info is inserted into the DB...

Did any of that make sense? (not nearly enough caffeine this evening ;)
