access_asp thread: ASP application with HTML form spread over several layers


Message #1 by "Scott Fretheim" <sfretheim@d...> on Sat, 12 Jan 2002 02:21:47
I have been asked to develop a means to gather and store facility safety 

information on companies that have contracts with our agency.  I have 

decided to use an HTML form linked to an Access database on an NT server 

running Chilisoft ASP server.



The design of the form that I would prefer to use breaks the rather long 

form (just over 100 fields, mostly checkbox, a few text, and one textarea) 

over 5 layers.  The layers are navigated by means of tabs near the top of 

the form.



It's my understanding that a form object cannot span multiple layers, so, 

I effectively have 5 forms.  Will I have to place a "submit" control on 

each layer or is there some solution using session variables?



Does anyone have experience with this type of form or have any suggestions 

for me?



Thanks



Scott
