How to submit the data from page 1 and continue to page2

[MDEATON]

I create a data entry form using the front page database wizard. I have 3
pages on my form and I want to be able to save the information on page one
and continue to page 2. Right now I have a submit icon at the button, but if
I submit page one, I get the submission confirmation and reset the form
before I can continue to page 2. What do I need to do to save page and
continue to page 2 without loosing the information entered on page 1?

I don't know, but I believe it uses hidden fields to keep track of the
previous pages's values, and then submits all of them at the end. However
the form processor script has to support multiple pages - the frontpage form
processor does not.

The way you currently have it, it is submitting as 3 separate forms. You
might just need to find a 'multi-page form' script on the net somewhere, as
it would require some complicated code to achieve. I found this tutorial:
http://webdesign.about.com/cs/forms/a/aaformstut4_3.htm - I don't know your
level of skill in this regard so this might be over your head, or you might
find it easy to follow.

Otherwise Google for 'multi-page HTML form' - I got 1,120,000 results in
Google. This link could be of interest. the "formmail.php" script supports
multiple pages : http://www.tectite.com/fmhowto/multiforms.php

What operating system is your server running - the link (above) requires the
form processor script "formmail.php", so you need PHP access on a Linux
server.

This is obviously not the only solution, but I found it in 5 minutes of
looking through the Google search results for "multi-page HTML form".
