In ASP with a SQL DBase....
I have a page that updates a table. Is there a way to tell the update behavior that if the record does not exist then add it instead of update?

What you are trying to do is possible but as far as I am aware is not possible by using the Dreamweaver Update or Insert Server Behaviours....

You would need to have a recordset that checks if the value exisits, if not then run either an update command or insert command.

I can post you a couple of examples of the code used for this if that is what you decide to do.

You could also consider using a Stored Procedure with some conditional logic...
You'd still pass it the same values from the page - but let the database decide what to do with the data so just a single trip to the database.
