Submit to multiple files??

[onecolor]

Is it possible that when a user hits the submit button, the data can be updated to two files or more. here's my calls right now:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-DB" VALUE="DieBeta.fp5"> [in this area could I add another file to update to?]

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-LAY" VALUE="MainLayout"> [in this area, both files will have the same layout name]

Thanks for any advice

You can either use two forms and some Javascript to submit the forms, or use a Script in one of the files to update the other file.

All the best.

that's what i thought. what other script is there beside the "import script. Is there a way to have File A and File B, when a file is submitted to File A, it will automatically add that record to File B. I've been searching this site all day for some type of hint. Do you have any thoughts?

You can create a Script with Scriptmaker and call it with your Form. For example:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-DB" VALUE="DieBeta.fp5">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-LAY" VALUE="MainLayout">

<input type="hidden" name="-script" value="mydupscript">

You will find some more information on this in the "CDML Reference" Database.

All the best.
