This is just as easy as having one button:

<input type="submit" value="button 1" name="button1" id="button1" />
<input type="submit" value="button 2" name="button2" id="button2" />
<input type="submit" value="button 3" name="button3" id="button3" />

At the server, you can check if, say, button 2 was clicked like this:

If Request.Form("button2") <> "" Then
' handle button 2
End If

HtH,

Let say that I have 4 submit buttons. And each button submit to a separate form within the asp page. In the
if request.form(button1)<>"" then
What code goes here? Can I say: "<form action=testpg1.asp method=POST id=form1 > "

end if

Is each button placed in a different form with a different ASP action page? Or is each button posting to the same page?

Either way, the code I showed you enables you to determine what buttons is clicked.

If you want to have one form (e.g. one set of <form> tags) with different actions, you need to use JavaScript to change the action attribute when the button is clicked....

All the button are in the same form. That is why I want to submit to a separate for from the form that has all the buttons. Please help me on this!!!

I am not sure I understand this. Can you elaborate a bit on what you're trying to do? Maybe give an example or so?
