Hi Aaron,

I dunno that I have the best method but when I need to do this, I do 
something like this:

<cflocation url="page.cfm?formtype=menu&note=upd">

And then on the switch section for the menu page I just insert 
something like

<cfoutput>
<cfif IsDefined(NOTE)>
<cfif #NOTE# IS 'upd'>
<p>Your record has been updated.</p>
<cfelseif #NOTE# IS 'add'>
<p>Your record has been added.</p>
<cfelseif #NOTE# IS 'del'>
<p>That record is gone, gone, gone.</p>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>

Hope that helps.

i have a simple cf admin page using cfswitch (thanks to palyne's tip a few
weeks ago) with four cases.  most of the cases do a very specific db action
(e.g., delete a record, update a record, etc) - and all I want to do is
flash a message saying "record updated" then redirect back to the main page.
i currently have this funky snippet:<!--

<b>Record Updated!</b> Redirecting to <a href="pcorder.cfm">main
page</a>....
  <img src="images/1px000.gif" width="0" height="0"
onLoad="window.location='pcorder.cfm';">

which isn't exactly smooth.  it redirects too quickly to see what it's
doing.  i suppose i could use a js alert or something, or write a quick js
function to count a few seconds before redirecting.  and i'm guessing i
can't use http-equiv="refresh".   does anyone know of a way to redirect
using CF?  or perhaps an altogether different way for processing the action?

thanks

aaron  :)
