I have 2 databases 1 for contacts and another for phone numbers of each contact, they are related by a "contactid" field, and displayed in one of the layouts in a portal.

How do i let users enter information to the phone numbers database from a web page using CDML in the same way they enter the information in the contacts layout including the contactid so that the relationship can be established.

any ideas...please help!!!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. And why would you need two databases for that? Wouldn't one be enough to simply hold contacts and phone numbers?

I have no complete solution, but I think you should consider this:

- Split your entry form into two, each pointing to a different database, and displayed in a different frame in the browser. The top frame is used for entering adress information and viewing the existing telephone numbers, the bottom frame is used for adding a new telephone number.

- To pass on the record ID for the telephone number, you could use the -token feature, or use a submit button on the addressframe that runs a script in the database (using the -script.prefind tag).

Might work?
