id or Recid

[c-aas]

My problem is that i am working on a schoolproject with filemaker, and we have to find out the differnece between id and Recid in a link.

Exampel. http://...FMPro?-db=first.fp5&-lay=first&-Format=first.htm&-Recid=45&Find

and http://...FMPro?-db=first.fp5-lay=first&-Format=first.htm&id=126&-Find

In this exampel, the links are same except for id and Recid.

Can enyone help me with my problem? What is the difference?

Regards Chrisse

RecID Defines which record should be operated on.

Used mainly by the -Edit, -Dup (duplicate), and -Delete actions

The ID command doesn't exist in the CDML reference manual are you sure you have this right?

'id=126' looks like a reference to a field named 'id' with the value of 126.

Seems quite logic, thanks for the help

I've been breaking my head about this. The difference between recid and id is that recid is the real number that identifies a record and id is the number of the record within the current found set. (So, if you've got a database with 100 records and you perform a find which results in 50 found records, you'll be able to reference to the first found record with id=1)
