I'm posting this from a library and am thus winging it from the top of my head. My Mac is sick today.

I think your problem is in these two lines:

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Course Title" value="[FMP-Field:Course Title]">

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Course Description" value="[FMP-Field:Course Description]">

Basically,

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-RecID" VALUE="[FMP-CurrentRecID]">

is used to capture/pass the currently accessed recid from the currently accessed db. If you have not accessed a record in a db you must provide the (hardcode?) the number or pass it, perhaps as a token.

SIMPLIFY ...

Hi:

When trying to edit a record, I get a message that says "Record Not Found: The specific record was not found".

I have in my edit page the following code for an edit form:

<FORM ACTION="FMPro" METHOD="post">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-db" VALUE="Courses.fp5">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="ViewModCourse.htm">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="View / Modify">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="EditReply.htm">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-RecID" VALUE="[FMP-CurrentRecID]">

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Course Title" value="[FMP-Field:Course Title]">

<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Course Description" value="[FMP-Field:Course Description]">

</FORM>

My question is what actually is supposed to go in the VALUE parm for "-RecID" in place of "FMP-CurrentRecID" to get the edit form to open up with the first record in the table, and allow me to edit it?

Thanks

Al
