Ok, for the past two days, I've looked at every tutorial/post I could
find regarding this, and to be honest I'm losing my mind.
What I have is a form, with a repeated region in it, in this repeated
region, are text boxes populated from a recordset (and some are
populated from url variables). What I cant for the life of me figure
out is how to get it to insert all the records using a loop. I've tried
so many different ways, and am now coming to you all for help.
Below is the 'vanilla' code from DMX, could someone give me a hand with
how the looping works, thanks in advance..
