Populate form with previously submitted information
I have a form which asks for some personal information. Then an option to select a type with additional information to enter. Once the form is complete, the user submits the data and it is entered in an MSDatabase and sent via email. On the submit page, I want to include an option to submit another request (line 243) and automatically include the users personal information. There are 5 fields I want to include (ILLRequestorsFName, ILLRequestorsLName, ILLRequestorsService, ILLRequestorsEmail, ILLRequestorsPhone).
The form is Eligible.asp.
The confirmation page is Eligible2.asp
I am including the code for Eligible2.asp.

I tried the suggested code with just one field. It returns to the Eligible.asp page with the following URL:
Eligible.asp?ILLRequestors
Although the field is NOT filled in.
Eligible.asp?ILLRequestors
Although the field is NOT filled in.
do you have code on your form fields to read in these values? I would also change the form's method to POST:
eligible2.asp - line 243
eligible.asp - whatever line your field is on:
eligible2.asp - line 243
<form action="Eligible.asp" method="POST" >
<input type="hidden" name="ILLRequestorsFName" value="<%=request.form("ILLRequestorsFName")%>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ILLRequestorsLName" value="<%=request.form("ILLRequestorsLName")%>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ILLRequestorsService" value="<%=request.form("ILLRequestorsService")%>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ILLRequestorsEmail" value="<%=request.form("ILLRequestorsEmail")%>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ILLRequestorsPhone" value="<%=request.form("ILLRequestorsPhone")%>" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit another request" />
</form> eligible.asp - whatever line your field is on:
<input type="text" name="ILLRequestorsFName" value="<%=Request("ILLRequestorsFName")%>" />ASKER
On eligible.asp I added the value.
On eligible2.asp my form code
When I click Submit, Eligible.asp displays request.form('ILLRequestor
On eligible2.asp my form code
<form action="Eligible.asp" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="ILLRequestorsFName" value="request.form('ILLRequestorsFName')" />

</form>When I click Submit, Eligible.asp displays request.form('ILLRequestor

Another options is in your insert code you are grabbing the an the identity id for tblILLRequests on line 60
One advantage to this method is you will know for sure the personal data is not altered. Even if you use a hidden field, it is still subject to change and as a rule you shouldn't trust input data.
Still another option is to simply add a field "OriginalRquestID" and make the default value in your db zero. When you submit the 2nd or any subsequent request, use the field ILLID to populate. Then you can always grab the personal information from the original request. As a side benefit, you track how many related requests are being made.
