Hi Neal,

AFAIK this is because dbForms' controller "overrides" the localWebEvent property, a possible workaround is:

<%
 if(request.getParameter("nextForm")!=null)
   response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + request.getParameter("nextForm"));
%>
<db:dbform
   tableName="table_one"
   maxRows="1"
   followUpOnError="<%=request.getServletPath()%>">
<input type="hidden" name="nextForm" value="/form2_new.jsp" />
...
<db:insertButton showAlways="false" styleClass="clsButtonStyle" caption="Commit and 
continue"/>
</db:dbform>

and so on for form2...

cheers,
baptiste

I am designing a system that requires a user to go thru 3 data entry
screens.
What I want to have happen that is a soon as user clicks "submit" on the
first screen he is taken to the second screen.

I can't seem to make this work !!!

When I click submit and go to form2, I am in "navigate"  mode and see
the first record, I am NOT in "insert" mode which is what I want

If I have a link from the main page, it works as expected.
<db:navNewButton styleClass="clsButtonStyle" destTable="table_two"
followUp="/form2_new.jsp" caption=" 2 "/>

On Form1 I have (form1_new.jsp)
<db:dbform multipart="false" autoUpdate="false"
followUp="/form2_new.jsp" followUpOnError="/form1_new.jsp" maxRows="1"
tableName="table_one">
.
<db:insertButton  showAlways="false" styleClass="clsButtonStyle"
caption="Commit and continue"/>
.
</db:dbform>

Form 2 (form2_new.jsp)
<db:dbform localWebEvent="navNew"
  multipart="false" autoUpdate="false" followUp="/form3_new.jsp"
followUpOnError="/form2_new.jsp" maxRows="1" tableName="table_two">
<db:insertButton showAlways="false" styleClass="clsButtonStyle"
caption="Commit data into student"/>
</db:dbform>
===

Has anyone done anything similar, have submit on form-1 got to form-2 ,
how did you do it ?
Is there some workaround or other mechanism ?

Thanks,

Neal Katz
