    Refresh for second submission

    I am using IP 2003 tied to a database
    
    I have a new form that collects 2 data elements and upon submit, the 2 
    fields go to the database.  That works well.
    
    Because the form will get used throughout the day, rather than close the 
    from, I just set the 2 values to blank after the database submission and 
    leave the form open.
    
    However, when the user submits a new request, the data is not going to the 
    database table.  No error message - just the data never gets submitted.
    
    Am I missing something simple as a way to keep the form open but clear the 
    fields and accept a second submission?
    
    Thanks

    Typically to reset a database type form I would put in an invalid query value. Such as an id value of 99999 or something and then query the main data connection.

    This resets so you can submit again.

    This also allows all of the data fields to be reset in one action instead of the fields individually.

    I do not understand

     

    Do you have a query that is not seen by the end user running on submit?

     

     

    Thank you for your Help.

    Yes, exactly.
    Your submit should be via rules
    first action submit main
    2nd set query field
    3rd  query main

    This would be how to submit and reset automatically in one click by the user.
    All they will see is the form reset and a confirmation of the submit.
