Single Form Erroneously Creating Multiple Records

Question

I've created a form that uses several pages, with different fields of the form on each page. The pages branch from one to the next depending on the choices made by the user, mostly using a regular select list or a radiogroup with submit. The problem I'm having is that some fields are being populated in one record on one page, and then the information entered by the user on the next page, for another column, creates a new record, so that every time a user would be finished making a complete entry into the form, multiple records have been created, with null fields in each from where those fields were populated, but in a different record. How can I make sure that only one record is created by the user each time they use this form?

Answer 1

Basically the way the page is designed is that there are only three main pages the user will see. 1) The login page then 2) The main menu page, and then 3) The page where they input the information that should populate the remainder of the fields in that record in the table.
The login page simply allows the user to access the menu page, and submits no data. The main menu page consists of 5 fields. Three of them are text fields, the fourth is a date field with a date picker. The fifth field is a radiogroup with submit that has 5 options which branch to 5 respective pages. Upon selecting an option from the radiogroup, these fields submit their data to the table and redirect the user to whichever page was designated by their choice.
This brings up the third page. Most of these other 5 pages consist simply of 4 fields; two required select lists, one required textarea field, and one nonrequired textarea field. Anyway, the problem occurs because instead of populating the remaining fields in the same record, each page with information to submit creates a new record.
I realize that the preceding may not be any additional relevant info., but I thought that if anything, there may be a better way to do that anyway. I thought that maybe editing the "Process" in the Page Definition could be where I need to change something, but I'm not sure how.
Right now my "Process Point" is set as "On Submit - After Computations and Validations," and my "Run Process" is set as the default "Once Per Page Visit." These settings are the same on every page on which I have fields that submit data; however, one difference I noticed is in the process editing interface for the initial menu page, the "Name" says "Insert row into USER_INPUT (table name) with a "Type" of "PL/SQL Anonymous Block", whereas all the other pages processes are named "Process row of USER_INPUT" with a type of "Automatic Row Processing (DML)." Am I even close to where I need to be looking to find the solution to this problem? Sorry for the novel I just wrote, but if there's any additional info. I can provide, just let me know.
