ausmoran -> Entering Data Into Three SQL Tables (6/20/2007 8:56:49)

I am completely new to DW (MX 2004) and am in need of someone's assistance. I have created an asp page in which I have a simple form that allows users to enter demographic data that will be stored in the VOLUNTEERS table. I also need to provide a mechanism for those same people to enter data in the COMMITTEE_VOLUNTEERS table. This Committee_Volunteers table contains primarily checkboxes (BIT) for various committees that volunteers may join, along with several other VARCHAR type fields. Some of the data for the COMMITTEE_VOLUNTEERS table is linked from a COMMITTEES table (this table stores a list of committees, and term).

Do I need two separate asp pages in order to provide a simple mechanism for users to enter and submit data to my SQL database? Or can I create a Stored Procedure in which I join all of the tables and then use that as the underlying data source for all of the required fields?

As I said, I am very new to this so am not really sure which way to go.

Thanks ever so much (in advance),
-Austin

Hi and Welcome to OutFront.

I'm not sure how DW works, but with just ASP you can put several forms on the same page or it could be all on 1 big form and you'd let a form handler take care of which data goes to which table.

But if it is a wizard kinda' thing you're relying on, I wouldn't know since I don't know DW. However, adding data to multiple tables is a very common thing and is done all the time (as you probably already know.)

Hope that helps.

If you want to stay within Dreamweaver Server Behaviors you will need a separate page for each update action. If you want to write the ASP by hand you can most certainly do it.

If you intend on maintaining the site I would write this by hand just to get a feel for what DW is generating for you. This will allow you to do so much more.

If your going to try it by hand I would ask a moderator to move the thread to the ASP and Databases forum.

Whatever you decide I wish you the best!

Regards!
Rich
