Updating multiple records

[Vaughan]

CDML only allows action on one record at a time. Actually when you stop and think about it, you can only work on one record at a time in FMP as well, so it's not really a limitation of CDML, it's a database thing.

The obnly way to work on multiple records in FMP is to use scripts. Use the -Script CDML tag to call a script that will do your multiple record stuff. be very, very careful to make sure that the script works over the web correctly especially if it invoves editing or deleting records.

Hi again. Sorry, I know this has been asked already, but can one find a group of records and automatically update them using CDML? How does one do this? Please help. Thanks in advance.
