error 101- can't edit record

clevow
in Custom Web Publishing

Featured Replies

I'm getting an error 101 when trying to edit a record. I can't figure out why.

the record is created by the URL:

href="http://hostname:591/progress_reports/FMPro?-db=progressreports.fp5&-format=new_record.html&-lay=report&user_id=[fmp-currenttoken]&project_id=[fmp-currentrecid]&-New=

the page that is returned is:

<form action="FMPro" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="progressreports.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="report">

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="redirect.html">

<input type="hidden" name="-error" value="detail_error.html">

<input type="hidden" name="-RecID value="[fmp-CurrentRecID]">

LOTS OF HTML HERE

<input type="submit" name="-Edit" value="Submit progress report">

</form>

The RecID is getting passed correctly, as it shows up in the source code.

The record is created fine, I just can't edit it. Help please? FTR - FMP 5.5 running on Win 2K IIS, custom publishing

TIA,

Carrie

I had the same problem. Error 101 is "record not found". I added -recid=[fmp-currentrecid] to the url and then I could edit the record.

Good luck

Carrie,

A slightly different approach would be to use '-view' in the URL as:

href="http://hostname:591/progress_reports/FMPro?-db=progressreports.fp5&-format=new_record.html&-lay=report&-view

Then the format file would use "-new":

<form action="FMPro" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="progressreports.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="report">

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="redirect.html">

<input type="hidden" name="-error" value="detail_error.html">

LOTS OF HTML HERE

<input type="submit" name="-new" value="Submit progress report">

</form>

Other information can be passed as Tokens.

All the best.

Garry

Just another pedantic observation is that you do not need the '-lay' tag for an edit operation. This may cause the error.

All the best.

For clarification purposes, here is the general idea.

I've got one database called Projects and one called Progress reports. Users will enter the system by getting a list of projects (from the project database) returned to them. For each project of theirs, they have a link to click on to submit a new progress report.

That link creates a new record in the progress report database. The [currentrecid] in the URL is actually the recid from the project database. This becomes the project number in the progress report database. (So all progress reports for a single project have some common identifier).

So they click "submit new progress report" and a new record is created in the progress report database. The page that is returned to them has the name of the project and some other information that was looked up based on the project ID. One of the hidden fields on this page includes the currentrecid from the progress database. This number comes up correctly, as I'm watching FileMaker while submitting it. The numbers are right. When you click "submit this record" (which is really -edit) then I'm getting the error message.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the html on the page where the record is edited, since taking everything out besides the hidden tags and the submit button produces the same results. It's got to be in the database itself or in the URL that creates the new record.

HELP!

Carrie,

Do you have an 'exact match' restriction on this database?

Garry

Is your db as confused as I am? What is the field being edited? I don't see it in your code.

Carrie

Does the database have a password (especially a <no password> or default password) that restricts access?

  • Author

I think the database is less confused, but who am I to judge. wink.gif

I will post code in a separate post.

There are no restrictions on anything. I have no passwords set and I'm not using the web security database.

The plot thickens!!! wink.gif

This is the code of search_results.html. This is the page that the user will enter in on (they're brought here by an external CGI).

One more thing.

These 2 web pages reside in 2 different directories. That shouldn't matter, I don't think. One's in web/projects and one is in web/progress_reports.

Also, both databases have only one layout each.

Errr, it might! Duplicate them into the same directory and see if it helps.

  • Author

I can't really use -view because some information needs to get entered first. That's why I use -new. That way the record is created and the information that needs to get entered ahead of time is. That info is returned on the page where the user gets to enter everything.

I don't understand why this isn't working. The RecID is correct. I've even dumbed it down to where no information is actually being submitted. It still gives the error 101. That's just basically with the form tags, required hidden tags, and the submit (-edit) button.

What the heck is the problem???

TIA,

Carrie

Carrie,

I'm not sure where you are getting the [fmp-currentrecid] from in this url, however it shouldn't make any difference in the edit request:

href="http://hostname:591/progress_reports/FMPro?-db=progressreports.fp5&-format=new_record.html&-lay=report&user_id=[fmp-currenttoken]&project_id=[fmp-currentrecid]&-New=

The only thing I can think of is a field missing from the layout, or incorrect spelling.

Good Luck.

Garry

  • Author

no dice.

I moved all relevant pages to the same directory and I'm still getting the error.

  • Author

From my first post on this thread:

quote:
<form action="FMPro" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="progressreports.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="report">

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="redirect.html">

<input type="hidden" name="-error" value="detail_error.html">

<input type="hidden" name="-RecID value="[fmp-CurrentRecID]">

Look closely at the last line.

quote:
<input type="hidden" name="-RecID value="[fmp-CurrentRecID]">

See anything wrong?

It only took me 4 days, but I found it. Missing quote in the hidden RecID field. Should be

<input type="hidden" name= "-RecID" value="[fmp-CurrentRecID]">

Thanks to all of you who helped out. I appreciate it!

-Carrie

I would recommend getting Adobe GoLive HTML editor. Then you cannot make such errors.

With GL and strict copy/paste field names I didn't had typos for 2 years. On productivity the package paid back within 1 month.

And saved me lot of gray hair.

I copied your code to BBEdit and it showed the missing quotes by not changing colours for the value parameter.

However, I didn't take much notice of it; silly me!

All the best.

Garry

  • Author

and i didn't notice because it picked up the recid when the page loaded, just not when you went to edit it.

oh well, it's all good now. that's a good idea though, to copy the code somewhere where the colors change. Dreamweaver doesn't pick up on that stuff since it's inside the < > tags.

Thanks again for all your help.

-Carrie
