glad it worked. Another option, which is a bit more complex is to define your buttons as follows:

Add button

<input type="submit" name="action" value="Add">

Delete button

<input type="submit" name="action" value="Delete">

and then have the page post back to itself and do a

cmdaction = Request.Form("action")

if cmdaction = "Add" then

'add the record to the database

elseif cmdaction = "Delete" then

'delete the record from the database

etc, etc.

If cmdaction = "" then

' display the form

an easier way is to have one submit button and one normal button, then you set up the defaults for the submit button, then using javascript, you can submit the form with the normal button, for example

<form action="delete.asp" name="test" method="post">

<input type="submit" value="Delete">
<input type="button" value="Modify" onClick="document.test.action='modify.asp'; document.test.submit();">
</form>

so when you click submit it will change the action to modify.asp and submit the form
