Redsun,I took out the extra code but it doesn't work yet. The error message I get is the regular:The page cannot be displayed There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed. Thanks for your help.

Hi Redsun,Thanks for your help. I used your suggestion but still get an error on the page. This is what my code looks like. Am I missing something?<%'Dimension variablesDim adoCon 'Holds the Database Connection ObjectDim rsAddComments 'Holds the recordset for the new record to be addedDim strSQL 'Holds the SQL query to query the databaseSet rsAddComments = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")rsAddComments.ActiveConnection = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("guestbook.mdb")rsAddComments.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tblComments (Name, Comments) VALUES ('" & Request.Form("name") & "', '" & Request.Form("comments") & "')"rsAddComments.CommandType = 1rsAddComments.CommandTimeout = 0rsAddComments.Prepared = truersAddComments.Execute()%> I also tried adding the RS.update line at the end. But that didn't work either.

Hello,I'm taking my first few steps in the asp playground and I need a little help understading why my page is hanging on the record set update. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?
