How can I change link destination

K

I have used the database interface wizard to create a data entry screen.
After the input is complete and the visitor clicks on “OK†a confirmation
screen appears and at the end of the confirmation screen the visitor is given
a link to return to the data entry screen. I want to send the visitor to a
different page.

According to the address bar the confirmation screen is generated without
leaving the submission page.

The following code ends the data entry and sends the user to the
confirmation screen.
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" align="left"><font
face="Verdana"><input type="submit" value=" OK "><input type="reset"
value=" Reset "></font></p>

The following code, generated by FrontPage, appears to correspond to the
information provided on the confirmation screen. Changing it provides very
unpredicted results.

FP_FormConfirmationFromArrays "text/html; charset=windows-1252",_
"Form Confirmation",_
"Thank you for submitting the following information:",_
"submission_form_address.asp",_
"Return to the form.",_
arFormDBFields0,_
arFormValues0

I want the user to go to ThankYou.htm after seeing the confirmation info.
Help please.

You can create a custom confirmation page (which you already apparently have
i.e. ThankYou.htm as you mention below). This page can say "Thank you for
submitting...." and also you can have it list the data the user submitted
......you need to add the confirmation fields via Insert > Web Component >
Confirmation Field - which have to match the fieldnames from your form.

Then specify the custom page in the Form Properties under "Confirmation
Page" - just put in the filename/URL to the page or Click "Browse..." to
find the page within your web.

Hope this clears it up for you.
