  how can i redirect to a different page after a record is updated or deleted?
  

  
  update page: userup.asp
  delete page: userdel.asp
  response page: success.asp
  

  
  is this possible?
  

  
  thanks for any idea

  You can use

  Code:

  Response.Redirect

  to redirect. You may need to put Code:

  <%Response.Buffer=True%>

  if any output could be sent before the redirect (you can't redirect if any output is sent when Response.Buffer isn't true).
  

  
  Let me know if you need more information.

  should i put <%Response.Buffer=True%>  in the head of the page, and then something like:
  

  
  if Response.Buffer<>True then
  response.redirect success.asp
  end if
  

  
  what is REsponse.buffer doing? is it checking for data passed to the ado file?  
  

  
  Thanks for your help!

  Response.Buffer tells the server that, instead of sending the page to the browser as it is processed bit by bit, it should wait until it has finished processing and send the whole page at once. For more info see the ASP documentation.
  

  
  I don't think

  would work.
  

  
  I think what you should do is put

  Code:

  Response.Redirect success.asp

  after the code that updates the database. eg.
  

  
  

  Code:

  
  <%
  '...
  'code that acts on the database
  

  
  'send them to the success page
  Respose.Redirect "success.asp"
  %>
  

  
  

  
  On my site I use code in my links section to update the hit count for a site then do a redirect to it, and it works.
  

  
  Again, let me know if you need more information.

  That is where the problem is. I am creating the asp pages with GoLive, so to update  users' records, i use a form with the following code:
  

  
  <form name="userup" action='/config/actions/ado.actions5.asp?<%=URLArgs()%>' method="post" onsubmit="return checkPass()">
  

  
  This file ADO cannot be changed. I need to put the response.redirect code, in some place where the computer will only redirect the page, once it comes back from the ADO file and updated the records. But where?.
  

  
  if i put it on the page, it redirects the page as soon as you enter it.

  Can't you do the ADO bit, and put the Response.Redirect afterwards?
