Advice For Form Processing.
I'm just after abit of advice and recommendation about processing a form. Would it be advisable to set the form action to the page were the form currently sits and insert an if statement into the beginning of the page to check to see if submit = Yes?
Then saving the user inputs into sessions?
if all inputs meet the validation requirements then redirect the user to the next step?
Also is there a better way of trapping if a user enters numerical values and special characters than this? Code:

I have no major programming background so am struggling to enable processing of forms on my website. Normally I just use Frontpage extensions or a freeware CGI script.
However, with this particular site, which is being hosted in Zimbabwe, the hosting company says they only support Java or VB enabled forms for processing. Does anyone have any idea where I can get a freeware script that will be easy enough for me to implement?

I have a form that users enter details of a car (e.g make model , idnumber#) and then press save to save to the database they may want to order 10 cars with the same details exept the idnumber so to save the users entering in all 5 details I want to make it easier.
Should I have a list box and let the user add idnumber items from a text box and then pass this to my update asp and loop through + to save to the database or should I
save one record and then return back to the same form Note : I am having problems with this method as only part of the fields show when I hit the back button I just wondered what is the best method of doing this I am spoilt for choice and I also get problems.

i have created a registration page containing a form than sends username password to an asp processing page. If the user exists it sends the user back to the registration page with server.transfer command otherwise it adds the new user to the database as expected.
Anyhow I now want to add an upload feature to the registration page (using pure-asp). The example I used says that the form Enctype property should be set to mulipart/form-data.
Now when I add a new user via the registration form, the processing page for some reason assumes the user is already registered (BUT IS NOT IN DATABASE) and the server.transfer code is executed ? sending the user back to the registration page.

I have the need to create a form that will allow a user to register for summer camp online and also make payment. I also want the ability to export the data to a .CSV or some other simple database file. I do NOT want to export to XML. The form processing program would preferably be ASP or PHP.
I plan to use PayPal or some other credit processing company to allow the user to make payment. This is for a non-profit organization so a free or very inexpensive solution is obviously preferred. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have three pages that I am working on at the mo. A select record page that selects a record to be updated. A form page that allows the selected to be amended, and an update form processing page.
With the form processing page I am getting an error which I can't seem to get around- the error is-
"ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record. Code:

I have created a form in HTML with no problems, but I can't find any tutorials on how to (or whether I even can) have the results of what the user inputted into the form directly to me. I would also like to be able to have the results stored in an Excel Spreadsheet as well. I've found tutorials on how to send to addresses inputted into the form, kind of like a 'Thanks for Participating' sort of thing and I've tried to modify it to get it to work for sending me messages, but I just can't get it to work.

I have purchased a form processing script, which basically saves the data into a database, emails certain people's email addresses with the form results, and also sends an email to the user that filled in the form with a thank you email.
However, all the emails are being sent in plain text format. I would like to change this to HTML so I can make the results look nicer and also make the thank you email look nicer.
I have emailed the script developers, but have yet had a response from them, so i thought id put a post on here!
I have found the part of the coding that sends the Thank You email out to the user once they have filled in the form:
'/// Send Autoresponse
if replyto<>"" and (autoresponse<>"" or sendcopy<>"") then
if sendcopy<>"" then autoresponse=autoresponse & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & message
call sendmail(replyto,mailadmin,formname,autoresponse)
end if
end if .......

I want to create a form that has a image embedded in it. This photo needs to be edited inside the form (i.e. a picture of a car that needs lines added to show damage. The form will have data in it (like car make, model,). When the form is submitted, the data needs to be written to the database, the image needs to be saved and the name written to the database. When the data is retrieved, the data and the image need to appear.

I'm looking to set up a contact directory where people can update there contact information. I was thinking of using the request.server NTLOGIN, this would cover ther security side. I've been looking at the pattern for creating logins and it seems they don't go any longer than 7 chars, but its based on the surname and the forename.
ie mine is first 6 digits of my surname and first intital of my first name, but then looked at another and the surname is only 4 chars so they use that and then first three of first name. Do you think it would be possible to do compares on this as the logins vary each time?

Ive done quite a few sites now that involve different languages using different strategies and I would like to hear some different opinions on which is the most efficient.
The previous sites with languages that I have done have not been majorly big or would involve vast amounts of traffic so using included language file have been ok. I am about to do a site in 4 - 6 different languages that will have quite a lot of traffic. I have also used application variables in some cases but not sure if that is the best way.
So if anyone has any ideas on a better way and also one that is easy on server resources I'd love to hear them (and maybe a link to some code would be koool)..

my web host offers ASPMail - which works fine for sending individual emails, but I'm not too keen on using it to send out bulk emails because generally it times out, and then I am left with having to work out who has received their email, and who hasn't.
Anyway, just checking to see if anyone here has any advice about what options I could use to send out bulk emails. My idea of "bulk" is anywhere between 300 and 1400 at a time.
I know there are lots of free services on the web out there which offer free email newsletter services - do people have any recommendations for any of these, or any ASP based components or scripts which I could use on my site to get around this problem?

We have written a CMS, where we want user to upload a specific size of images. But if they do in some other sizes, the site becomes ugly. Is there any way in ASP to dynmically resize/compress/edit to display the image, in such a way that its not spoiling the look, even if its not very perfect.

Anyone have any links and/or code samples demonstrating how this can be done: "Processing" progress bar/"in-between" page? Current procedure is that john doe clicks an item on a datagrid of mine and after however long, gets the info he wants.
What I want to do is have a page that pops up "in-between" the two pages. Something that says "Processing Request: Please Wait" or somesuch and have a progress bar or something as well would not have to be an accurate progress bar, per se.Anyone have any links/samples?

I'm not sure if this is an HTML question or an ASP question, so I'm posting to both forums. I have a page that has two forms with two similar data sets. The action part of each form brings the user to a process page that updates some database information. I usually use Request.Form("variable"), but how can I determine which form was used? Can I request information from a particular form or should I use different variable names in each form?

I've got two pages. The first page has a simple form that collects a value from the user and then posts this value to the second page that performs a query. This query has some loops in it that can sometimes force it to wait up to 15 seconds.
My question is how can I implement a "Processing Request..." message until the results are returned? Right now it just sits on the first page until the results are returned, THEN goes to the second (display) page. How do I call some sort of message to be displayed so it's a smoother transition and the user doesn't think the browser has stopped responding?

Is it possible to have server1 do a post to another page on server2?
Server2 page does it's thing and submit the results back to server1. All of
this is done without any reference in the url. I tried server.execute and
transfer but it only works on the same server.
Basically, I have a component on server2 inside my firewall. Server1 is for
public use. Users enter server1 and request what report they want. The
report should pass to server2 to instantiate an object and create a report
on the fly and store the pdf on server1. Users just have to view or
download it from server1. All this is done without the user knowing they
left server1.
This does work if I sent the server1 form action to server2. But then it's
on url now.

I am working in ASP and Access database.
I have a page with a form, inside the form there is a SELECT statement that pulls all relevent 'yes/no' columns from all relevent tables in the db and makes them checkboxes inside the form.
Now when i check or uncheck these boxes and submit them i need to have the db updated with all the relevent changes in all the various tables.
How can this be done? maybe there is a "FOR EACH CHECKBOX.." statement that can be used?

I have a form that submits to as asp processing page and that processing page inserts the info into a database and sends me an email. <form action="process.asp" method="post">there are a few pranksters out there that like to open the process.asp page directly and send blank info to my database and email. Is there a way to have this page only work when the form submits to it but not work if you just go directly to the page. I tried changing the permission to write only, but then you are asked for a password.

I have a very unique problem, i am submitting from a pdf
form, when submitted goes to a asp page, which saves the
data and redirects to a different page after saving the
data. I am writing a message called 'Processing Form
please wait' in the page where it is saving the data and
doing a response.flush(and i also di response.buffer
=true) but still it seems like it never hits this page.
When the user submits the form, it just stays on the pdf
file for a good 10-15 seconds and redirects to the last
page(after saving data).

I have a web page that takes anywhere between 1 and 5 minutes to process. The user inputs a date criteria and then I have to query against a 9 million record table for the results and do some calculations also.
Since I don't know how to display anything to the screen until the server has done it's part, I was wondering if anyone here would know. I just basically want the user to know that the page is processing and the results will be displayed once the processing is done. Any ideas?
