I think I am going mad here, so if someone can help me out:

Im new to .ASP and I am adding an IF statement to the submit button to Insert a new record if it is clicked. I have tried this both submitting to the same page and to another page, and I have tried Get & Post

so I have the button:

<input type="submit" value="Add" name="view">

then the IFwhich is:

<%
if request.form("view") = "Add" then
(running insert code, which I have checked works)
end if
%>

I have played with it, and basically proven that Submit button is not returning the value of the button.

So i havent a clue whats happening.

Other info:

IF statement is within the form, after the Submit button, but I have tried it all over the place. - SHOULD IT GO SOMEWHERE INPARTICULAR?

the code should look something like this:
Code: 
<html>
<body>
<form>
'all form fields
</form>
<%
if request.form("view") = "Add" then
(running insert code, which I have checked works)
end if
%>
</body>
</html>

Not sure what you're doing...

Code: 
<form name=myForm action=pe3.asp method=post>
<input type=submit value="add" name="view">
<input type=submit value="update" name="view">
</form>

Code: 
<%
 response.write request("view")
%>

works fine. Can you post some code?

hmm, again unless Im going mad its all ok, so I have posted the code here:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 4</title>
</head>


<body>

<form method="get" action="updatereceive.asp">

<p><select size="1" name="campaignname">


<option> LOOPING A RECORDSET IN HERE</option>

</select>
<input type="submit" value="Add" name="View"></p>



</form>

<%
if request.form("View") = "Add" then
INSERT GOES HERE
end if
%>
<%objNAME.close
set objNAME = nothing
%>

</body>

</html>

Are you posting to the page that holds your form or is the page calling itself? You might be able to see what's up be using

response.write "XX" & request.form("View") & "XX"

or something...
