What does this error mean? I can't for the life of me figure out what I've done wrong! I'm reusing code from othere databases so I thought maybe I got some stuck in there from the old DB but I can't find anything. Help!

ok, the weirest thing is if there is a space in the data i enter in the only field I have that is modifiable, it errors out. If there is no space, it works fine.

What does the html for your Form look like?

Does it happen when the "Enter/Return" key is pressed, rather than the "Submit" button being clicked?

If so, add this line:

<input type="hidden" name="-edit">

Good Luck.

Awesome! Thanks!

I am not sure if my problem is the same, but it is error 4; the error says:

"Unexpected error. Unable to process your request because the server encountered an unexpected condition. For more detail on error #4, refer to the FileMaker help topic "Status (current error)" and contact your site administrator."

The problem only happens AT the location where the files are being hosted; I am outside and do not get this error, but they have tried on 3 machines, and get this error in the following circumstance:

We have a form that a Parent logs into. That is fine, they edit their personal information, and get a Reply page.

At the bottom of the Reply page, they enter the student's login info and press Continue, which brings up a form with the student emergency info. That is also fine.

They submit that info, and get a Reply page, at the bottom of which, they are asked to confirm the Password of the student (which performs a find) to get a second student form. This is where they get the error above. So basically, the reply page has a summary of the last form's info, and the -find button and a field for the next step.

I can get it without any problems, but they cannot when they are at the site. It's hard for me to figure out since I cannot replicate it.

Here is my top of page code, on the reply page that gets the error:

<FORM ACTION="FMPro" METHOD="post">

<P ALIGN=right>

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

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Lay" VALUE="WebStud">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Max" VALUE="1">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Format" VALUE="FamPerm.html">

and my button and field code at the bottom (the inbetween is just a summary of info submitted on the last form):

Confirm the Password for <strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">[FMP-Field: NameFirst]</font></strong>:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-op" VALUE="eq">

<INPUT NAME="WebPassword" TYPE=password id="WebPassword" VALUE="" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=255>

<INPUT NAME="-find" TYPE="submit" id="-find" VALUE="Continue">

And the code on the page the above is calling is:

<FORM ACTION="FMPro" METHOD="post">

<P ALIGN=right>

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

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Lay" VALUE="WebStud">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Max" VALUE="1">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="FamRep3.html">

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

That's just the top of the page. The strange thing is:

1.) they sometimes can get through without the error; but when they get it, it is always at the same spot

and

2.) I cannot get the error when I try.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

2.)

Try adding this line in the Form:

<input type="hidden" name="-find">

<INPUT NAME="-find" TYPE="submit" id="-find" VALUE="Continue">

This will help, in certian browsers, if people just press "Enter" rather than the "Continue" button.

Good Luck.

Garry

THANKS - that worked!! I was even able to duplicate the error myself before fixing it. You're the best!
