trying to get a page to close

[mikeJS]

Hi I was not sure where to post this as it is an asp page

basicaly i am using an asp page to send data from a flash form to MS access DB

however when the data is sent the asp page loads as a blank page is there a way for it to auto close after it sends the data

this is the asp

<%@language = "VBScript" %>
<%
 
strFirst = Request.Form("fname")
strLast = Request.Form("lname") 
strEmail = Request.Form("email")
strMessage = Request.Form("message")
 
MyPath=Server.MapPath("example.mdb")
    Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    conn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & "DBQ=" & MyPath 
 
SQL = "INSERT INTO contacts (FirstName, LastName, Email, Message) VALUES ('"&strFirst&"','"&strLast&"','"&strEmail&"','"&strMessage&"')"
conn.Execute(SQL)
%>
 

thanks mike

I should have also mentioned on the button in flash I am using

[on(press){
    getURL("http://localhost/contacts.asp",0,"post");
}

so i am not sure if their is an alternative way of doing this so it does not open the window ?

This is a classic ASP question.

I think the best way to do this would be to write a message saying something like "Thank you for updating the information" when the update has completed. At that point the user can choose to close the window.

Or you could write a bit of JavaScript that is generated by the ASP code and written into the page that closes the page (using the window.close() method).
