add new record

[Lana Mosby]

Is there anyway to disable the add button once the user has clicked. Currently, records are being added several times, because the users click the "Add New Record" button several times.

Hi Lana,

What you probably want is what we call the "non-sticky add" mode. Basically, you drop a few lines of ASP code into your program to detect the Add a New Record button and get out of Add mode.

Check out the example #123 at "http://mmstools.com/apps/". Look at the source code and you'll see a section at the bottom where there's an IF check looking at Request("ASPdbEditBut_1123&#34. If you detect the button was pressed, you can do a reset and simply redirect back to yourself or else put up a message and a link such as this example does. Whatever you wish.

Thanks,
John
