From w/ Mulpiple outputs

[wg]

I am new to programming in ASP so please forgive me if this seems trivial. I
am editing a page someone else created. The page loads a list from a
database, based on the selections (by clicking on the an item in the list it
gets highlighted) the user has the option of pressing a button to reload the
page with just what they have chosen all same page but calls others for
queries and such. This page contains a <form> then has the button to reload
with the selected events then </form>.

I am trying to add the function to output the selected events to Excel,
which I have been able to do by changing the page. The problem is we would
like two buttons, one to output to a web page, the other to a Excel. Is
possible to have two submit buttons in a form, one for web output and the
other for Excel?

Thanks

yes - make sure each button has a diferent 'value' so your server-side
script knows which was clicked.

Could you please explain a little more, how do I structure it with the Form
tag?

In your form:

<form name="..." method="..." action="...">
....

<input type="Submit" name="cmdSubmit1" Value="Button 1 Text">
<input type="Submit" name="cmdSubmit2" Value="Button 2 Text">
</form>

In your processor:

If (Request.Form("cmdSubmit1") <> "") Then

' The button labelled 'Button 1 Text' was clicked.

ElseIf (Request.Form("cmdSubmit2") <> "") Then

' The button labelled 'Button 2 Text' was clicked.

End If

Try that.
