Help with editing records please...

I thought I understood this and, in turn, wrote my CDML correctly, but I guess not. I've scoured the previous posts to no avail--please help.

I basically have a bunch of tables filled with fields I want people to be able to edit after they've entered their data. However, everytime I click "Edit", I'm brought to my error page. Sorry for the length, but I'll post the entire page here. Also, the last table is filled with portals, my understanding is I can't edit portals, which isn't germane to my problem as I usually take that last table out as I've been trouble shooting (i.e. the portals aren't my problem).

Like I said, this should work. In fact, I'm really sure I had a "smaller" version up and running before. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

Cheers,

Brian

Brian,

Here are some initial observations:

1. The NAME= paramater should relect the field name; e.g:




Book Title:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Publication::Book Title.1" VALUE="[FMP-field: Publication::Book Title]" SIZE=50>



Book Editor 1:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Publication::Book Editor 1.1" VALUE="[FMP-field: Publication::Book Editor 1]" SIZE=50>



Book Editor 2:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Publication::Book Editor 2.1" VALUE="[FMP-field: Publication::Book Editor 2]" SIZE=50>





2. If the field is from a relationship you will need to append the row number, in this case ".1".







Hope this helps.







Garry

I must admit, I realized the obvious, as you pointed out, this morning. 







Thanks for the help.
