Hi All,
I have been reviewing all information available here for a while now and it has been a big help. Unfortunately, I ran into a wall with something I am not sure how to do it, even though I know it has been done. I know the question has been answered here many times and I apologize, but to be honest for all the stuff that I read, I am just not getting it.
I am running MySQL/PHP and have referenced the following article:
http://www.gotocode.com/art.asp?art_id=80&
Along with tons of related postings.
I want to create a multi-page form, but I am still unsure how it is done.
Simple table example:
ms_id (pk auto incremented)
ms_data1 (on form page1)
ms_data2 (on form page2)
ms_data3 (on form page3)
I know that a new record can be created with ms_id and ms_data1 on page1. Following the insert of page1 I want to continue to do updates of ms_data2 and ms_data3 on page2 and page3 respectively.
I know that on page1 you add in the custom code on After Insert, as detailed in the above article. I know that ms_id needs to be passed to page2 and page3 for the record to be updated.
What I am not understanding is exactly where/how the ms_id parameter is passed (through URL, session variable, etc.). While all of the above make perfect sense to me, I am at a loss with the final piece of how to pass the parameter. Any help would be immensely appreciated.
(I swear, I have read tons of postings, I am just not getting it !!! Argh !!! Happy holidays everyone !!!)

I believe you might find the answer in the CCSExamplePack
http://docs.codecharge.com/studio/html/ProgrammingTechn...lePack.html?toc
and look for the "Multi-step user registration form"

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at the Multi-Step Registration form. That does something similar but it is incompatiable with what I want to do. I think the example pack was setup to work with the included accessdb. It was keyed to follow a "user_id" parameter, not to identify the autoincremented primary key and pass that to the next page. Thanks for the reply though. =)

Put this code into the 'After insert' event of the first form.
---
Dim LastID
'Get ID of asset just created (could be a problem if multiple users inserting)
LastID = CCDLookUp("max(PrimaryKeyId)","TableName","", DBConnectionName)
'Update redirect statement (Redirect is a global function)
Redirect = Replace(Redirect, "?", "?PrimaryKeyId=" & LastID & "&")
---
Note that you can replace max(PrimaryKeyId) with @@IDENTITY for SQL Server
NOTE: THE REDIRECT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU DO NOT SET A RETURN PAGE FOR THE MAIN FORM!!!! You must set the redirect for the buttons individually.
Darren.

Darren,
Thanks for the code, though, if I am not mistaken, that is for ASP and SQL ??? I am working with PHP and MySQL. Is there something similar that can be done ??? Thanks for the reply.
