I have an html page of fields and their values and also a portal. The portal is displaying its portals properly, but after an update has been made, the portal will not update correctly. Instead of updating the record within the portal with the changes, it goes and create a completely new record in the portal with the changes.

If anybody has any clues/tips/hints, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Well here's the code...thx

<table width=660 border=0>

<tr bgcolor=dddddd>

<table width="100%"cellspacing=1 border=0>

<tr><td><b>Requestor:</b></td><td colspan=3 bgcolor=white>First: <INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="10" NAME="requestors_first" VALUE="[FMP-field: requestors_first]"></td>

What version FMP -- 4 or 5?

I am using FM Unlimited 5.5

Please use [ code ] [ /code ] and insert code between that flags. Remove the spaces in above.

I took the liberty of editing the post and adding the CODE tags as Anatoli suggested. One of the privileges of being moderator. ;-)

In FMP 5.0 Unlimited, you need to specify the portal row you are updating.... arf_link::last_name.0 is a new record, and arf_link::last_name.1 is portal row number 1. You can use [FMP-CurrentPortalRowNumber] to do this for you. Try using

Name="arf_link::last_name[FMP-CurrentPortalRowNumber"

Hope this helps!

BTW - how is FMP 5.5 Unlimited to work with - Any surprises?!?

If you post the code, someone can find something on it.

Thanks Meltdown for the advice. It worked. As for any surprises? Nope just this one!
