i would like to know if it is possible to make a form static
what i mean is this:
i built a form that uses a db for some entrys
i also temporarily add some values to the db in the filling process
now, when i send the form i have the ability to delete the temporary db-entrys
problem is: because the form is dynamic, they do still query their values
from the db although the entrys were already made and sent.
so naturally, when i delete the temp entrys from the db, the received form
will be quite empty

is there a way to solve this dilemma?


i already have one method in mind, but i´m not very happy with that - i
would have to recode the whole form from vbscript to jscript....

If you want to make the form self-contained, add fields to the Main data
source and save the values in and retrieve them from those fields instead of
the temp db. You needn't put the fields on a view, since you don't want to
display them but only use them for storage.
