Is a layout specified for the -lay tag" Does that layout have the necessary fields on it?

I have created about 5 different FMPro databases using web companion. They all work very well and when I submit a record it is recorded. Now for the problem. The last online registration database that I created looks fine and tells me that a new record has been added and IN FACT a new record is added to the database. Unfortunately there in NO data in the record. Nothing appears at all. Any suggestions?

Looks like you're missing some quotes throughout. For example,

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=Name VALUE="" SIZE=55>

should be:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Name" VALUE="" SIZE=55>

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it and it did not change the outcome. Still no data in the record although it is adding a new record.

I created the page with Claris HomePage. Do you think that I should recreate the page?

If on the page is just single typo or wrong syntax, everything stops often working.

This I do recommend to all beginners:

Start with single layout with single field.

When this works OK, add more fields by ONLY copy/paste and never try to write manually something.

That way I am working very fast and I never had typo. I've learned this from my mistake. I've inherited database and it didn’t work in CDML. It took me 2 hours, that the author of the database named one field "Name " instead "Name". Because I've just typed that as "Name", FM/WC didn't work at all. When I did the copy I've discovered the space frown.gif" border="0

I had the exact same experience, Anatoli -- I think stories like this illustrate the need for field-naming standards, e.g no spaces, because you may just have to create a web front-end some day. smile.gif" border="0

CDML is very, very syntatically precise. Perhaps soon it will just go away.

I have tried all of the suggestions. I even recreated the pages using Claris HomePage. I still get a new record with NO data. I am getting desparate. It has to be up and running by Friday. Do you have any other suggestions? It seems to be receiving the record and not posting any data. I have made the "space" errors in the past and usually received an error message. This time I do not get an error message just no data.

Thank you!!!!! It worked. I had set up a "no password" access to the DB but I did not assign it to a group. I love this program but boy is it picky!! Thank you again! I am so glad that this forum is here!!! : )

OK now is the time to change Web Companion's preferences from Access Privileges (built-in passwords) to Web Security database. You have already learned why. Keep the built-in passwords, but just use them for FMP-client access security.
