How can I redirect to a confirmation page after a new data record has been
inserted into a file?
Thanks.

Two choices:
1. With the button property. Each button has its own "return page"
property. Change the button with the "Insert" action defined so that it has
a different return page.
2. With the AfterInsert event. Each platform-variant (ASP, PHP, etc.) has a
variable defined in the section marked as "Initialize Page Variables". The
name (for reasons I do not understand) varies between each, but for ASP is
it is simply "redirect". In the event routine, assign this variable the
name of the page you want it to go to and this will result in a different
page loading from what you get with Update, Delete or Cancel.
I like to do it the second way, because it's easy to forget the button
property is there when you make updates to the app later on. Also, it opens
up the possibility of changing the redirect at runtime, such as selecting a
different page for different users, security groups or other reasons.

Beautiful. I chose option 1 just for simplicity's sake at the moment as I
continue to evolve. Now how would I display on my confirmation page a value
from the form or record that was submitted? Such as "Thank You {Name}!"
Thanks.

You just need to have a variable with the desired value accessible and
assign it to a label, in that label's BeforeShow event. This might be from
a session variable, URL, control, form - any of the legal CCS sources of
data. In the case you give, this could be as simple as using the session
variable "UserID" (I assume you did not change the default security variable
names). It might be slightly more complex and require a CCDlookUp()
function call to retreive some value from the database.
