I have a design question. At present I have a site designed two different ways. First I have 6 pages of user entry in my site. The first 4 pages will be going to one sql table, the 5th will be going into another table, and the last, yet another table.
I'd like to use one of the new 2.0 data controls (specifically the FormView), but I honestly have no idea how to impliment it in this scenario.
On the other hand, to combat this, I have combined the individual pages into one large page with three seperate formview controls. Obviously the makes the page quite a bit larger, but Im planning to impliment an in page navigation menu that stays in the
same position no matter what part of the page the user is on. My problem here is that I need to do all of the insert's at one time, after the data has been validated of course. How do I fire the insert event on the formview controls at the same time (under
one submit button). Also, I'd like to only have that one button on the page. Is this possible ?
Do any of you guys have any advice on the design of this site ? I'm new to web development, so any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated

Design Advice - Formview ?

Hello All,
I'm using VWD Express and SQL Express.
I have a design question. At present I have a site designed two different ways. First I have 6 pages of user entry in my site. The first 4 pages will be going to one sql table, the 5th will be going into another table, and the last, yet another table. I'd like to use one of the new 2.0 data controls (specifically the FormView), but I honestly have no idea how to impliment it in this scenario.
On the other hand, to combat this, I have combined the individual pages into one large page with three seperate formview controls. Obviously the makes the page quite a bit larger, but Im planning to impliment an in page navigation menu that stays in the same position no matter what part of the page the user is on. My problem here is that I need to do all of the insert's at one time, after the data has been validated of course.
