Hi,

I'm trying to add a large amount of data in to a table.I can view all the data in a table using a repeat region, but i can only submit one row at a time OR all the data, but it adds it in to just 1 row in the database. I would like it to add all the rows at the same time in to diffurant rows in the database. Here is what i have so far:

<%
While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT NewUsernames.EOF))
%>
        <table width="100%"  border="0">
          <tr>
            <td><table width="90%"  border="0" onMouseOver="this.bgColor = '#CCCCCC';this.style.cursor='hand'" onMouseOut ="this.bgColor = 'white'" bgcolor="white" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
                <tr>
                  <td width="19%"><input name="Username" type="text" class="NoCaps" id="Username" value="<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("FirstName").Value)%>.<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("SurnameName").Value)%>" size="30"></td>
                  <td width="15%"><input name="Year" type="text" class="NoCaps" id="Year" value="<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("Year").Value)%>"></td>
                  <td width="15%"><input name="Form" type="text" class="NoCaps" id="Form" value="<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("Form").Value)%>"></td>
                  <td width="15%"><input name="DOB" type="text" class="NoCaps" id="DOB" value="<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("DOB").Value)%>"></td>
                  <td width="19%"><input name="Password" type="hidden" id="Password" value="<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("FirstName").Value)%>.<%=(NewUsernames.Fields.Item("SurnameName").Value)%>">
                    <input name="School" type="hidden" id="School" value="Ripon College">
                    <input name="SchoolID" type="hidden" id="SchoolID" value="11SL">
                    <input name="AccessPageAdmin" type="hidden" id="AccessPageAdmin" value="/StudentLogin/Student.asp">
                    <input name="Done_" type="hidden" id="Done_" value="Done">
                  </td>
                  <td width="17%"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
                  </td>
                </tr>
              </table></td>
          </tr>
                </table>
        <%
  Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
  Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
  NewUsernames.MoveNext()
Wend
%>

        <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form2">

If anyone who knows how to solve this it would be a great help to me. Thanks

That was some what confuseing but here is what I got... you want a online form that you can fill out and it will add a few rows in a access db?

Sorry.

Yes. The code above is what i have so far. I can add just a single row at a time, or all the rows in the table in to a single row in a access database. But what i would like is to add each row on the table in to its own row in the access database.

I hope this helps.

I'm not going to write the whole code for you but I can point you in the right direction...
- Your first proublem is letting macromedia write the code for you.
- Second your writeing in VB the only real purpose is VB is for asp classic.
- 3rd, your writeing in ASP classic useing a access db. There are better technologies out there.

But if you still wish to stick with what u have now....
See this...

  MM_editQuery = "insert into " & MM_editTable & " (" & MM_tableValues & ") values (" & MM_dbValues & ")"

'
"MM_editQuery" is a SQL string. The "insert into" keywords in a SQL string tell the database to add a new row.

  If (Not MM_abortEdit) Then
    ' execute the insert
    Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_editConnection
    MM_editCmd.CommandText = MM_editQuery
    MM_editCmd.Execute
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close

'
The row really isnt added untill this section is ran. Write the page so it runs the SQL sting for each row you want to add.

Cheers for that.

For future notes, what would you say be the best langauge to learn? I find ASP and Access easy to understand the basics so i thought i would stick to it.
