With the help of javascript - yes. You change form.action using button's onclick.

easiest way is just giving the submit buttons different values (but same name) and performing actions or a redirect on the page that the action points to, depending on the value for the submitbutton that was clicked (submit buttons have same name but different value)

HTML code for the form

<form name="multiplesubmit" action="process.asp" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="delete" name="action">
<input type="submit" value="update" name="action">
</form>


VBscript code for in process.asp

if request.form("action") = "delete" then
your code that needs to be executed when button 1 is clicked
else
if request.form("action") = "update" then
your code that needs to be executed when button 2 is clicked
else
response.write("Error. How did you get to this page you ***. I've logged your IP and will take appropriate actions")
end if
end if

If you have more then 2 buttons, you probably best use a "select case" in stead of the "if then".
