I have two dropdown comboboxes in my ASP form, one is dependent on the other. The data is from MS access database. I just want to add a page to allow user to update the items in the database such as 'add', 'modify' and'delete'. Does anyone have this kind of examples?

Thanks

It is possible to create an add, update and delete setup on one asp script, using a hidden form variable to control the script status. Do you want the add, update and delete options visable on the page with the drop downs or as a seperate option.

If you want to email me with your drop down script and a brief explenation of what you want and I'll put something together for you.

Dear BarryMVS:
Thank you for your help. I just finished coding this program. The problem is solved, but not sure whether it is the best way to do it. This code is just used to modify the single combo box in the backend database. I thought the logic should be the same for updating linked combo box data.

Please review my code, give you your suggestion.

Have a good weekend.

longmatch,

The code looks good and I can see what you are trying to create.

I can't see anything that is likely to be a problem, though that doesn't mean there isn't one.

I hope it works OK.

If possible, I would love to see the finished page in action.

Cheers,



Barry

If you still need examples of a second dropdown dependant on the first, these two FAQ's have examples of the 2 general methods of doing that:
