Retaining formview values after insert

[roblasch]

I have a formview that I am using to add, update and insert data into a database. Everything is fine, with one exception. I need to enter similiar records with minor changes (one field per record). So after an insert, instead of arriving at a blank form, ready for a new entry, I would like to present the form will all of the values from the previous insert in the form fields. But the submit button needs to trigger another insert.

I would use session variables to hold the values previously entered, then repopulate the objects with the session variables when an Insert needs to be done.

Or, if they have been submitted from the same page as your "blank form", use the values directly from the controls.

Yes, even better point ca8msm..

you can grab the current values just before you go into insert mode, and use them as defaults.

Could somebody provide me with some details on how I would do what has been suggested. I have a four field FormView (and am using the MS Web Developer). Once I click on insert I want the same values to be displayed as the default for the next entry.

Any help appreciated
