Hi

I'm trying to redirect users if the the database, connected to the webpage the users are trying to access, is being updated. An ideas on how i can go about doing this? I haven't got a clue where to start.

I've written an SQL query into the webpage so when they access the page the query is run to fill out text boxes on the page.

Any help on this issue is much appreceiated.

What type of database is it? How are you going to define "being updated"? If it's access then a simple "cannot open the file because it is being used by another process" error would determine that it's being updated (do you also get this error when another process is reading it?). Perhaps you could trap that error as the "it's updating" condition.
