Submitting to multiple databases - 6/24/2003 18:11:21   
I searched the forum and couldn' t find anything on this.

Basically I have a database that has 1 table and 120 columns. I am passing data between 5 pages and the submitting on the last so I would like to break the data up into 3 tables or 3 databases from 1 submission. I am using access


Also is 1 way better then another submitting to multiple tables or multiple databases?

Using multiple tables would easily be prefered over multiple databases.

To connect to multiple tables is a snap > Just create a new recordset.

... make the datbase connection
oConn.open
sSQL = " update table1 set column1 = ' foo' "
set oRS = oConn.execute(sSQL)

sSQL = " update table2 set column1 = ' hello' "
set oRS = oConn.execute(sSQL)

repeat as needed...

Thanks, I use frontpage which i know can' t do this. Would I post all data to a page and then make the connection and submit? or is there a way to put the page on a diet and insert another database connection and query?

I don' t know much about the DRW. There are others around here that should be able to help. You should also look at Spooky' s tutorials.

Still can' t find anything, what about updating a database after posting to a different database?

When posting to a database can you have the confirmation page be an update page for a differnt database? I need to update 1 field on the update page. I know how to get the Id on the confirmation page but I cannot seem to get it to update.
