Title: Conditionally choose form path
Post by: TimR on November 07, 2008, 11:23:44 AM

I want to setup an order form that will allow users to create an order for numerous accounts.  If the user is entering a possibly duplicate account (i.e. name/address) I want to warn them of this condition and then give them the option to place the order under the existing account or to just create a new account.

I don't know how to conditionally ask a question and then go to one of two web pages, any help would be much appreciated.

FYI: Unfortunately I can't use a browse with a lookup for accounts(client constraint).

Hi Tim,

You don't need the "2 form" approach.

You can validate the fields as they are entered, and offer the user options as you go. Incidentally I've seen this done on a couple sites, and it's very cool!

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Tim, I think you'll find a lot of help by looking at how the example apps use the login page and ProcessUser proc. It's pretty slick and I think it might be just what you're looking for.
