Odd recordset problems...

Application -
A common spreadsheet is uploaded into a web interface which extracts all of the fields and saves the values to a SQL 2000 database.

Details -
There is a ridiculous number of fields across the 3 worksheets of the spreadsheet. Saving the data is not a problem.

Problem -
When attempting to display the information from the spreadsheets only the first 75% (an estimate) of the recordset is displayed.

Confusing part -
If I loop through all fields and write them to the page before the html starts all of the fields in the form are populated. If I do not write the fields and values to the screen before the HTML then 75% of the fields are populated.

Temp fix -
As a fix I just looped through the fields saving them to a string. I then wrote the string into a table with a display style of none so the browser is happy and the user doesn't see it. This works, but is a terrible work-around.

Any other suggestions?

sounds like the response buffer is the problem. have you tried a response.flush at the end of each iteration of the display loop?

I have not tried that. This app needs to go online today so I am unable to make any changes that might not work. I will try to remember to try this if I ever have this problem again.

Thanks.
