>Just found this:
I removed the enctype="multipart/form-data" from the *form...* tag and request properties submit OK! The enctype setting is required to get an *input type="file"... * working, but request() properties are empty if enctype is set as above. Does this make any sense?

If you want to upload a file you can use a product like Software Artisans SA FileUp. www.softartisans.com will give you more details. If you are using form request there will be no data transfer with enctype="multipart/form-data" unless you are using an object such as described. Microsoft also has a "free" upload object (I gave up trying to use it) and went to the SA FileUp. If you do not require uploading files (pictures, etc.) do not use enctype="multipart/form-data".

What I do regardless of the form tag I use is to have a command button (Save) that fires a procedure to submit the form. This allows me to do data validations and what ever else is needed.

If you have any questions just let me know.
