Edit from results page

[shai1]

I'm currently working on a database with CDML interaction. I want to be able to edit multiple records at one time from the "Results" page. By edit, I mean I would like to have the user(s) click a button on one or more records that would run a script to add the current date to a given field.

The current problem is...

Anytime a button is pushed, the -Format page is loaded changing the view of multiple records to the view of just the one record. I would prefer it if the operator could click a checkbox for each record to edit and then after clicking a submit button the script would run on each record. I don't know how to make this happen.

I tried assigning a -RedId to each of the checkboxes but that didn't seem to do the trick.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Dave, before you try running a script over the web you should become aware of the problems inherrent therein. Those problems have been widely discussed over this forum during the past year. Research is good for the soul.

Thanks for the input, but this site is going to be on an intranet with a max. number of five users at one time. I'm not too worried about multiple requests for the same script at the same time.

I am open to suggestions on how to do what I'm looking for without scripts if you have any. I've been trying to create a form with checkboxes for each record, but because I have multiple recIDs at once, I'm having a hard time telling it where to put the current date info.

Thanks,

Dave
