Hi All,
I am ASP beginner and seeking some help please. I am using online tutorial to learn. However been having this problem last 2 days. If I get any help, would be greatly appreciated to learner like me. I have 3 files listed codes for them below. I am creating basic addressbook which reads input from first file (addressbook_form.htm). I am using 2nd file (add_to_addressbook.asp) to post read-in data to 3rd file which is (addressbook.asp). I have gone thru each and every line of code but cannot get 'updated' addressbook.asp to work and show new entry being added. Again, any help be very helpful. please tell me what am i doing wrong here?
