It does make it more complicated in some ways. I find it easier though when returning error messages because it is all localized to a single page and I can just set a variable and then write it. Plus I can more easily rebuild my form. Of course again this is all Classic ASP which is not the most advanced of programming languages so it may be easier to do that in something like .NET or PHP. Also, I think it is easier for people after me to be able to open one page and make changes to just one page as opposed to having to open two or more pages and changing each of those just to change a field name or something.
