If the user clicks on the button in the "customerID" column he or she will be taken to a new file called "demo_delete.asp". The "demo_delete.asp" file contains the source code on how to create input fields based on the fields from one record in the database table. It also contains a "Delete record" button that will delete the current record:

if Request.form("companyname")="" then
  set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
  rs.open "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customerID='" & cid & "'",conn
  %>
  <form method="post" action="demo_delete.asp">
