SAVEREC.ASP
1.The file saverec.asp retrieves information entered by the user and saves it to the database
   table pals.

2.The general SQL INSERT statement below retrieves and  saves a new record.
          INSERT MyTable (mycolumns list) VALUES (myvalues list)

         To save the entry Tom Cruise into table pals, our SQL statement is
         INSERT pals (fname, lname) Values ('Tom', 'Cruise')
The values Tom and Cruise are enclosed in single quotes since these are string values.

3.This portion of code in saverec.asp may be disconcerting.

<%SQLSave = "INSERT  pals (fname, lname) VALUES ('"%>
<%SQLSave = SQLSave & Request.Form("fname")%>
<%SQLSave = SQLSave & "', '"%>
<%SQLSave = SQLSave & Request.Form("lname")%>
<%SQLSave = SQLSave & "')"%>

4.However, if you write down each line of code (ignoring all <% and %> and double quotes save for "fname"  and "lname"), and then put them together, they add up to the SQL INSERT statement above which saves Tom Cruise into table pals.
5.For example, the first line translates to: INSERT pals (fname, lname) Values ('
6.The last line translates to: ')
7.The <% %> pair tells the file processor that the code within is script code, not HTML code.
