Different Edit/Delete Problem

I'm having a different edit/delete problem. I'm using an access database back end. The ASP edit and delete operations appear to work (i.e., when refreshed the record appears to be changed or deleted) but when viewing the database in Access the record is still there and the edited record is unchanged. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. It appears the changes are being written to the database, but when opening the database along, the changes are not there.
The changes do, however, continue to be pulled up when going to "Edit" again.

Here is what happening.
Lets say your database files resides at C:\SomeDirectory\database.mdb. When you create set of ASP pages using ASPRunner you choose output folder C:\Program Files\ASPRunner\Output (or any other folder). ASPRunner creates a copy of your source database file at C:\Program Files\ASPRunner\Output\db\database.mdb. All ASP pages work with this new file. That's why you don't see any changes in your original file.
I hope it helps.
