I'm trying to write an ASP page (Classic, not .NET) for a study tool 
and I'm running into problems. Here is the scenario:

I go to a form and fill in various text boxes, or dropdowns. Then 
comes the part I need some advice on. I have two areas "Associated 
Quotes" and "Bibliography". I want to store these in a separate table 
as shown below.

 Study              Quotes                    Biblo  
____________       ______________           ____________    
| studyID   |      | QuoteID    |           | BibloID  |
| Date      |      | StudyID    |           | StudyID  |
| User      |      | QuoteText  |           | Book     |
|<Others>   |      |____________|           |__________|

What I want to do on the page that you fill out the study page, to 
have a way to create entries in the other tables. But I don't have a 
study ID until the form is actually submitted and a SQL Insert Stored 
Procedure is called, so I can't do a simple pop-up box. I could 
create the studyID when you hit the page, but I want to avid blank 
entries if the user hits this form and just hits the back button. 

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I making this too complicated? Would 
this kind of thing be easier to run in .NET? I was trying not to use 
that as a solution as I do nit really know a lot about .NET as of yet.
