Response Write After Updating Record (SQL)

Question ladies and gents.
 
How would I go about displaying a message on a page when a record has been updated (SQL).
 
Usually when I insert a record, I use:
 
<% IF (Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST") THEN Response.Write("Successfully Inserted Record") End IF %>
 
However, on the page that I am working with, I need to update the record, and the form has data in it "GET".  So the ServerVariable Request Method is "GET" whenever the page loads.
How can I confirm to the user that the record has been updated?  Does anyone have a trick to do such?
 
Open ears.  Maybe I'm thinking too much on the lines of ASP and SQL and not VBScript.
 
Any help is so appreciated.
