preventing user error

I have a registration site with multiple pages with submit buttons.
Everytime the user clicks submit it inserts a record from the information
typed on that page into a database and goes to the next step of the
registration. I'm thinking users are clicking forward and back in the
browser and clicking these submit buttons multiple times and it's messing up
my flow. This record that is inserted is a temp record. At the end of the
registration process they have a Confirm screen with the data that was
previously typed in and saved into a 'temp' table. and then another submit
button to insert these records into the real table. I need a better way to
do this. Would using all session variables work for this situation or is
there a better way?

Thanks for any information or direction to head with this issue.

How do people go about preventing the user from submitting a form for a 2nd time? For example, the user submits a form, clicks on the back button, and the submits the form again. I have used various techniques in the past (depending on circumstances) but I'd be interested in the techniques you guys currently use. Thanks --

Is there an effective method of preventing users from accidentally or maliciously deleting the database file/files from a shared network drive?

Setting the windows permissions for the database folder to "read only" seems to create problems and data entry users obviously...

Hi, I am unable to delete a subfolder that I have created programatically. I am using a modification of the apiSHFileOperation by Dev Ashish (http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0026.htm) to copy the files.

Hi, I'm new to ASP.Net, so this may be something simple that I forgot. I have a form where a person can create a login. I'm doing the processing on this myself. The form has a plethora of validators, including two custom validators. They check whether the user name exists among the users already registered, and the same with the email address. Both the validators process, but they don't stop the form from processing, so I end up with...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
