Use PC-W2000 with FMP-5.5:

I have been trying to get a web based solution for adding new records to a relational db portal. I have two dbs #1 Master and #2 Support. I have a relationship and associated portal in the Master DB to the Support DB.

To date I have not been able to add new records via the Master DB portal to the Support DB by means of a HTML Form using the "-edit" or "-new" action tags. I have tried to use the current portal row number of "0" as the example documented in the FMP Developer 5.0 documentation:

<Input type="text" Name="master portal::ID Number.0">

I know I could create the record directly in the Support DB, but I would prefer to do it directly in the Master DB for simplicity of coding.

I assume this is suppose to work ... it seems with FMP-CDML ... You Never Know.

Thanks,

P.S.: If you know of any example solutions on the web to this, could you point me to them......Thanks again.

You may need to assign a value to the input, e.g.:

<Input type="text" Name="master portal::ID Number.0" value="something here">

Good Luck.

Garry,

Thanks for the response. Yes I do have tried that as part of the HMTL vice using a HTML Form to fill in.

Thanks ... Maxcy

Is the Portal on the Layout named in your Form?
