ASP Form

[Guest]

I have created ASP form using DW CS3. Once users fills out information and click on submit, information goes into Access Database using insert method. Which works just fine. But when users is transferred to confirmation page, I've tried to use Request.Form method to carry information over to confirmation page so user can write down their inquiry number and at the same time, I want to be able to send email. For some reason, Request.Form method does not carry information to next page. If I remove insert method, then it does. Is this a bug or as Microsoft would say, "By Design"? Or am I doing something wrong? Is there a another method I should be using?

Thanks,

Usually, it is possible to pass data entered into form elements (text
fields, list/menus, etc.) from one page to another using request variables.
However, request variables sent from an insert/update/delete page are lost
before reaching the redirect page. This happens because an
insert/update/delete page submits the user's form data back to itself (i.e.
the insert/update/delete page), instead of going directly to the redirect
page when the user clicks the submit button. In essence, three calls to the
web server, or HTTP requests, are made (insert page > insert page> redirect
page), though it only looks like two HTTP requests (insert page > redirect
page):
