Performing a find when updating records

[skuli]

Hey All,

Is it possible to perform a find when submitting a form that is updating records so that the results page includes a found set of records?

In other words, I have a site that when a record is updated, I want to have a summary of all records related to that one record returned, rather than having a results page returned and then having to have the user click a link to generate the summary page.

If so, how would you go about it?

Thanks.

You can probably do this, when on next -format page will be just blank page with find link in Refresh Meta tag.

You can use an InLine action in the format page returned by the edit action. This works for me.

All the best.

Garry,

Thanks but can you exand on this a bit? I don't quite fully understand the Inline action and this would be a good situation to understand it.

Thanks.

skuli,

Here is an example using an InLine Action to construct an option list:

<td><select name="item_id">

[FMP-InlineAction: -db=rmr_prices.fp5, -lay=allfields, -findall][FMP-Record]

<option value="[FMP-Field:item_id]">[FMP-Field:item_name]</option>

[/FMP-Record][/FMP-InlineAction]

</select></td>

So your code would be in the Format file called by the update (-edit).
