Parent - Child - Submit - reply

I am trying to redirect back to a child form after a submit with a file upload and verification of file data. I would like to go back to the form and display a message returning the status of the data. Is that possible? Any suggestions on an alternate? I am using classic ASP, javascript and vbscript.

Maybe ajax type coding would work for you.

The tradition method is to have the asp page that handled your upload provide a feedback/confirmation page back to the user's browser window that submitted the upload.

Maybe I didn't state the situation clearly. On the parent form, there is an option to enter data or upload a file. The child is a form that allows the user to upload a file. This file needs to be verified. If the file has errors, I need to present the excel file back as a link and a message stating that the file has errors. The user can then export the file, make corrections and resubmit, or cancel and return to the parent form. If the file is error free, a message displays on the child form stating the file is good. The user can then confirm that the file can be used or cancel. In either case, they will need to return to the parent form to continue completing additional information before submitting the parent form.

SO what seems to be the problem?

1. How do I go back to the child form after submitting and processing the uploaded file? 2. Will I lose the parent-child relationship after submitting and processing the uploaded file?

What do you mean by child form? A popup window created by client code in your web browser?

Yes

You're going to have to do some kind of ajax coding if you want to update a popup window without reloading the main window I think. Maybe you can do something with frames, I don't know.
