Saving data on Form

I want to display multiple records on a form. The user has the choice of editing 1 or more records and then saving the changes. What would be the basic code I need to save the changed records? How would I capture the individual changes? Right now the only thing that I can get to save is one record per page, not multiple records on a page, because the request.form variables come in in an array format when I put more than one record on a page.
Thanks.

not sure how you're doing it, but generally i've seen edit one record at a time with

<a href="popup_page.asp?id=<%=RS("primarykey")%>">Edit</a>


as the edit me button.

So you want one submit button and a bunch of checkboxes for update these.... you can check to see if the checkbox is checked then (you have that checkbox be the primary key) update rows where = to that primary key.

if you have on final submit button and want it to smart detect the rows with no indications besides if it's been touched......
Do you have all your data entered into text boxes and those are all displayed accross the screen and they can update it directly that way? You could set up each row, so that onblur you add the primary key of that row to an array. and then when they submit one button you can then update the DB with the primary keys that you wrote to the array....never tried this, but it sounds like i dont' want to and would prefer to have the checkbox method....

I guess the checkbox idea is feasible. That means the user has to check this to show she/he edited it?
Thanks.

booo, now you're not being creative

fine, go the easy way, psssh

well, i assume you know client side scripting. So just add an onblur for the row and when a user updates a record pop the onblur calls your javascript to set the checkbox to checked =)

You can also do this with ActiveX controls in vb, but doing it w/ scripting is probably easier.
