I have a form that displays data retrieved from the database.
Everything is fine except when I need to submit for an update. I make a change and instead of updating the database, the form re-retrieves the record, and doesn't go to the redirect page. I used the Update Server behavior, like always. Other pages that update have no trouble. But this one has 48 columns displaying. Yes, it's got a lot of fields that a user can update.
I'm not going to pour a whole bunch of code here because it's pointless. The server behavior has done this to me numerous times. What I did was take the input form, which DID NOT have an INSERT server behavior on it. That was controlled by another page.
This was simply a dummy page with no behaviors.
Does Dreamweaver apparently prefer you create a brand new page everytime? Is that the way it works?
Thanks,
Peter

Without code, one can only guess. There's no other way to determine what's going wrong.
The size of the record doesn't really matter. What you need to post is the code responsible for processing the update, and the html of the update form. I'm particularly interested in the condition that has to be met before a successful redirect. The condition might be if the query executes successfully, or if 1 record is affected. There might also be a snippet for error handling; if the query structure has an error, what happens?
So, post the code please.
