refreshing problem..

[jkat]

Hey,
I have a data entry form that when a user enters data and presses submit, it takes them to a page that displays what they entered in a list type format (kinda like a message board, wink-wink).

What i want to prevent is theh problem that after the user arrives to the list page, if they hit refresh (to see if any other users added to the list) it resubmits what they submitted to get to that screen and then they have multiple entries listed..(repeats)

Any information is greatly appreciated!! Thanks a lot.

what about using the server.varibles("http_referer&quot object to see how the page is called. if is it not the page with the form on it then don't execute the code...

strPage = server.variable("http_Referer&quot
call

if strPage = "

http://myFormPage.htm"

then
call add_to_list
end if

sub add_to_list()
code goes here to add to list
end sub Bastien
