So I built a records management center for our HR documents and it has been working great until this morning.

Suddenly the 'Submit a Record' webpart that came default with the page no longer works, it just refreshes the page when used.  Any help in fixing the webpart would be appreciated, and failing that if I could get a link or instructions on how to make a new one that would help too.

Hi MSGX, I'm guessing something may have been changed on the administration end. Check the following link for what to look for and possible fixes (ignore the error messages, I think your problem is similar and you're just not seeing them):
