Newbie Forms

[TNGgroup]

Hi,

I have a problem with some forms. I created 2 pages, one (list.asp) is an
overview of all my record. for each record I put a button. When I click the
button I would like a second asp page (edit.asp) to open with that specific
record. This is a part code of my list.asp. the link should be based upon
contact_id.

But he is always showing the first record ??

Thx

TNG

Looks like you create a new form for each loop, so in essence you're
running dozens of identical forms, all with the same ID. Your submit
picks the first instance on the page.

Drop the idea of forms and create these as simple links then, if you
need to, link those with a button.

This should work, although I personally prefer the suggestion that Jeff
gave.
The problem I think you have is that you haven't given a name to your
ContactId text field.
<input name="" type="text" value="<%=objRS("contact_id")%>" size="2">
should be
<input name="ContactId" type="text" value="<%=objRS("contact_id")%>"
size="2">
