Edit Record page, from a New Record page

[wanewrld]

Hi, Is there a way to make an EDIT Record page by duplicating a NEW Record page, and make a few changes? I don't know how to get this line, to read my records in my DB, <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recID" VALUE="FMP-currentrecid">

I do not have a field called, "FMP-currentrecid"

Do i need one?

Its probably easy, but I am over looking something, thanks in advance for any help at all. I tried using the web tools helper but I am still missing something.

You sound like someone who needs to have the CDML Reference db. Then you will have a better opportunity to understand what FMP-currentrecid is. You might search this forum for CDML Reference. I think there might be a link.

This is the extra line you will need to use for the "New" page to become an "Edit" page:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recID" VALUE="[FMP-CurrentRecID]">

You were missing the []. This replacement tag will be replaced when the page is returned after a "Find".

The only problem being for the "New" page is that you will have to have [FMP-Field] replacement tags in each of the <input> Value paramaters. However, this should be OK.

All the best.
