Update Record Wierdness

[mac-in-the-mountains]

Hi Folks,

I have an update form which when submitted doesn't work. I check the database and nothing has changed. If I then go back in the browser to the form and click teh submit button it works perfectly and the record is updated. It's the same every time.

Without firing up all the code I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea what could be causing the problem.

Cheers

Why do you say its updated? Are you shown the updated record, or a
success message?

when I check the MySQL database directly I can see that on the first attempt nothing happens but always on the second attempt the record is updated. Happens every time.

That is very odd, can you post the code?
