Multiple Postbacks

I have registraryion form that gathers text values. On postback, text is changed to a thank you message and a request to correct the entries, if necessary. Users are asked to click an OK button to proceed. The OK button handler sends me an email with the entries and I also want it to perform a database entry operation. My problem is that I get two emails: one when the first postback happens, and another when the OK button is clicked. I've tried variois postback conditionals without success. Anybody any ideas? <br />

My problem seems to be that the PageLoad event also triggers the OK-click event in the first postback. Then clicking on the OK button triggers that event again in a second postback. What I'm trying to do is to stop the OK-click event from firing in the first postback.<br />Hope this is clearer.<br /><br />------------<br />Kurt Vandevelde at 3/26/2002 1:45:23 AM<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />------------<br />Hugh Anderson at 3/24/2002 1:05:22 PM<br /><br />There's undoubtedly a simple answer to this, but this newbie can't find it.
