Multiple HTML forms
I currently have a form that inputs data into a Access 97 database using ASP. My data is going into one table.
I want to set up a form that will submit to muliple tables at once, keeping the information linked.
For instance, I want to have a table that has student info, problem type, problem description. I want all the tables to be linked and accessibly when queried from the web site.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

All this requires is a good SQL statement. Comment me back with the exact information you want displayed and the fields and tables to your database and I would be more then happy to write the SQL statement for you.

TAMC,
These are the fields that I have in one table. I want to restructure them so that Only student information is in one table and the problem they encounter, the description, procedure observed, performed, and level of participation.
I am trying to make it easy in the long run.
You can take a look at my site: http://134.129.166.97

Let me know how this will work out.

Whoah, this is way out of my league, sorry for getting your hopes up, if I figure something out I'll tell, otherwise you probably won't be hearing from me.
jwilliams,
A bit of JavaScript could handle this quite easily. Are you familiar with it? Basically, all we need to do is take all those variables from the form, and pass them into the three different databases using one function (call the function with the 'submit' box at the bottom of the page):
function sendData
{
var General_Problems = window.document.medform.ge neral_prob lems.value
var General_Problem_Notes = window.document.medform.ge neral_prob lems_notes .value
var Head_and_Neck_Notes = window.document.medform.he ad_and_nec k_notes.va lue
post first set of data to database A (asp string). . .
post second set of data to database B (asp string). . .
.
.
.
}
Let me know if you want it scripted (it'll cost more than 30 points!)
Dave.

I would do it like this:
Your tables are linked, which would meant aht you have an unique identifier in the tables. I cannot find a "id" autonumber field in the fields you mentioned, but it might be there.
First you update the "main" table which probably holds the person's name and has a unique identifier which you use to link to other tables.
If the identifier is autonumber, then you'll have to find out what the new number is before you can update the other tables.
That can be done by updating the main table using an updatable recordset
Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB .Recordset ")
strSQL = "SELECT * From TABLE1 ...."
RS.Open strSQL, Conn, 3, 3
RS.AddNew
'creates a new record
RS("field1")=Request.Form( "formfield 1")
.etc
' fills in the field values
RS.Update
'saves the recordset in the database
NewID = RS("ID")
' if ID is the name of the autonumber field
RS.Close
Now you have the value of the unique identifier and you can use that to update other tables.
This can be done in the same way
In fact you don't update all tables simultaneously, but one by one.

Can you say why you rejected the attempts? Just didn't work or wasn't what you were looking for?
