I am trying to create a web page that will create a new record in my FMP 4 database.

In my Filemaker db there is 4 fields were information is critical

1. New part number -which has an automated serial number, and the user doesn't enter any info in.

2. Description field - User needs to enter from the web page

3. Originator Name - User enters from web

4. Comments - User enters from web

The page I have made is a new Record page which has fields 2,3,4 but not 1(Part Number) because it's auto mated

The thing I can't figure out is how to make a results page that will show the New Part Number issued aswell as the rest of it (which I have no problems with)

The form that contains the submit (and the -new tag) specifies a -format file. Put the fields on this format file to display the newly created record.

Hi Vaughn,

I must be missing something. I have a new page and a new reply page, everything works except for the new part number doesn't show up in the reply page. It's like if the user doesn't enter the info (which is not required- because it's auto serial, in the database) nothing shows up in the reply page. I know this shouldn't be so difficult.

I have even tried to use a submit button, but it gives me an error.

Hi, apologies if this is a dumb question, but the new part number field *is* on the layout you're calling, right? If the other fields show in your new record reply, then your code must be ok.

Hi,

To answer that. It confused me also, because I had the part number field on the reply page, but nothing was happening??

Anyhow, I just created a new layout in my db, and directed the reply page to that layout to get the information feedback.

Thanks for the help guys!
