So you are saying that when you fill out the form (admin page) and click edit, it reloads the form again (still admin page)?  I do some php, not asp...

What is runat='server'?  Is that the way asp posts back to itself, like php posting to the server?

Also, is this correct:

'<%# System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MM_CONNECTION_STRING_ebaytrackerdatabase"] %>'


Did you make sure that connection still exists?  That could be your prob...

runat tells the server to compile the code i think
the other one dw made so it sould be right
and i have a manage.aspx and a edit.aspx and a trackercore.aspx that allows session only access to the edit page.... compairs user to filtered selected list and says if it can or cannot be edited via same user auth

users can post but only admins can edit....

user
-----
- post
but cant update

admin
--------
- post
- edit
adminedit.aspx
works like a charm

ummmmmmmm
........................
it works now :O
and i dont know what i did

will split points

edit to last one will give points to only one person  (shake my head in stupidity)

LOL...maybe your hoster was having a bit of trouble?  Or you got caught in the anomaly that we webmasters occasionally get trapped in, where stuff just doesn't work, through no fault of our own. :-)  Or, most possibly, I actually had a dead-on answer that fixed the problem (even though it didn't).

ummmm i found it was my method of security.... i took it out and works grate but when its in i guess im lucky it worked
