Urgent! Unexplained error-can't find database name in post arguments

[Karen Shea]

I am running Webstar 4.0 and using the filemaker web server. Running Filmaker pro unlimited 5.0v2 on a seperate machine.

I'm getting an error when I add a record through the internet that has about 4 pages worth of text. The error is "unexplained error- couldn't find database name in post arguments"

It'll add a record with just a few paragraphs of text fine. But not any more. I tried editing a large database that was already in the database and that too would not work. everything with smaller ones is fine. there are only a few fields involved in the form.

Everything works fine, locally(including adding large records), but when i separate and put it on the server is when the problem starts to arise.

Why is this, what's the problem and how to fix!! Thanks!

You might also go to FileMaker and upgrade to v3.0.

Can you post the form you are using? Do you use method POST or GET?

This is problem probably on WS server. Somehow it does not passing the name of database to Unlimited.
