well to check whats in those fields before you over write them....
you must read the information from the fields
then after you do that
check the information depends on what you want to check it againts
so if you want to override a field that has nothing only spaces for example you
go
Code:
if Trim(RS("Myfield")) = "" then 'this checks to see if whats in it is spaces
RS("MyField") = "my donkey name"
end if
from what i gathered from your questions.. that is what i thought you mean
if thats not what you want
please make yourself clear
thanks
