I think that is it.  I did not know how to put the java "mid script" in
the asp.  Let me try this now!!  Tks!

My first solution should do just that.

Consider this:


<%
         ' Check data etc etc
         If DataIsInValid Then
                 Response.Write("You made an error <br />")
                 Response.Write("Please press the Go Back button and 
correct any mistakes....<br />")
                 Response.Write("<input type=""button"" 
onclick=""JavaScript:history.go(-1);"" value=""Go Back"" />")
         Else
                 ' Do Database insert
                 ' Send them to thank you page or whatever
                 Response.Redirect("Test3.asp")
         End If
%>

Does this help??

Please note: instead of Response.Write you can also mix HTML :

         If DataIsInValid Then
         %>
                 HTML here
         <%
         Else

Please note 2: for the <input type="button"> to work, you may need to
wrap 
it in a <form> (for older browsers).

Cheers,


Imar
