Help with asp, content management system

I am trying to build and update page that will insert a record, then redirect
to index.asp.

When info is entered, data does not post to database, and the page simply
refreshes.

here's the code:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

<%
' *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this page
MM_authorizedUsers=""
MM_authFailedURL="admin_login.asp"
MM_grantAccess=false
If Session("MM_Username") <> "" Then
If (true Or CStr(Session("MM_UserAuthorization"))="") Or _
(InStr(1,MM_authorizedUsers,Session("MM_UserAuthor ization"))>=1) Then
MM_grantAccess = true
End If
End If
If Not MM_grantAccess Then
MM_qsChar = "?"
If (InStr(1,MM_authFailedURL,"?") >= 1) Then MM_qsChar = "&"
MM_referrer = Request.ServerVariables("URL")
if (Len(Request.QueryString()) > 0) Then MM_referrer = MM_referrer & "?" &
Request.QueryString()
MM_authFailedURL = MM_authFailedURL & MM_qsChar & "accessdenied=" &
Server.URLEncode(MM_referrer)
Response.Redirect(MM_authFailedURL)
End If
%>

Any help would be appreciated!!

MM_editQuery = 'insert into ' &amp; MM_editTable &amp; ' (' &amp;
MM_tableValues &amp; ') values (' &amp; MM_dbValues &amp; ')' is your SQL query
being built MM_editCmd.CommandText = MM_editQuery MM_editCmd.Execute is the
line that should be dumping the data into the DB. before the.Execute statement
try a <%response.write '<h1>' &amp; MM_editQuery &amp; '</h1>' %> this
should ouput your SQL before the page fails so you can make sure that the SQL
is correct. It should be something like 'Insert into tablename item1, item2,
item3, item4 values field1, field2, field3, field4' If this looks right then
something isn't going into the DB right. Once you get that working you need to
add <%response.redirect ('index.asp')%>
