Linda;

Seems like the examples I have seen all use an explicit means to submit a form. That is the user must select a Submit button. You could “play” with methods like OnChange, etc. to see how they behave but you have to have a business rule as to how the form will be submitted. The user will have to be trained in all likelihood regardless of which way you go.

After you find a method you are sure that is reliable you can use code like this:

Sub txtNew_OnChange()
frmTest..Submit()
location.href = "Response.asp?”
End Sub

This presumes a text box at the end of the form has a call to a method to fire the submit.

You may have to check to be sure if required data has been filled out so use something like this at the object level:

Sub txtData_OnBlur()
if len(frmTest.txtData.value) = 0 then
alert ("Caller Name is required")
frmTest.txtDataName.Focus
end if
End Sub

The same type of code should reside in the txtNew_OnChange() method, but would be at the form level. Just be sure all required data has been filled out before you allow anything to happen – like going to a response (save) form.

This could be tricky but you may be able to do it, and you could use vb script or java script. Still, I like Submit buttons.

Good luck.

Tom
