                                            | I've been in the habit of coding multiple page forms that post to different asp pages.Is there a way to have different forms post to the same page yet determine which form issued the post?Sam |  |

                                          | How about a hidden field on the form that passes an ID to the page - you can then use this to identify which form was posted. |

                                          | OK.  So dere's no Request.Form("Formname")...  Hidden field'l do.Here's another subject I've read a lot about, and have my doubts...  Connections...  I've got connections...I create a command object for every query on the page and destroy the object.  I've read others create an object at the top of the page, use it for every query in the page, then destroy the object at the end of the page.IYHO, is it worth the performance gain for me to rewrite ?Sam |

                                          | for the command, i think it makes no difference.  Whichever is easiest for you.  it also depends on how you are handling parameters. if you are appending them at the end of your commandtext like "exec spname '" & param & "'", then it is no big deal, but if you are using the parameters collection then you should probably explicitly create new commands for each DB call to ensure you dont' have weird results with your parameters.And of course, the main thing is to make sure you keep using the same connection object, and make sure you explicitly close the connection at the end of the page.- Jeff |
