So, you are saying that the code you posted works, but the following does not?

<%
 if not request.form("submit") = "" then
   'do form validation
   if everything checks out ok then
     response.redirect "someinsertpage.asp"
   end if
 end if
%>
<html>
<form method="post" action="add.asp"></form>
</html>

By the way, your script will fail if the form is submitted by hitting
the 'enter' key instead of clicking the button.
