Multiple Records

[softhead]

Can someone help me figure out why this form doesn't work? I keep getting the error page..

<form action="FMPro" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="-DB" value="test.fm">

<input type="hidden" name="-Lay" value="info">

<input type="hidden" name="-Format" value="test.html">

<input type="hidden" name="-Error" value="error.html">

[FMP-RECORD]

<input type="hidden" name="-RecID" value="[FMP-CurrentRecID]">

<input type="checkbox" name="Account" value="Y"> [FMP-FIELD: first] [FMP-FIELD: last]<br>

[/FMP-RECORD]

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="-Edit">

</form>

And also, when I check the page source, the RecID off by 1 if it's greater than 80...I'm not sure why that is...

Thanks,

Anita

1. You should change your -error code line temporarily to a comment line:

<!--input type="hidden" name="-error" value="errorhtml-->

The result will be that you will get FMP's error message instead. That should give you a clue as to what is causing the error.

2. If one record is deleted, the recid will be off by one from where the deletion occurred. Remember the recid is a number internal to FMP. It really should not affect what you are trying to accomplish.

3. The impression I get from your use of [fmp-record]...[/fmp-record] is that you are attempting a simultaneous -edit of multiple records.

Yes I am trying to edit multiple records at the same time...

This is the error message that I got:

"Your attempt to edit a record failed because of the following:

Unknown error number 102."

Does that mean even FileMaker doesn't know what the error is?

Thanks so much for your help.

FMP error message 102 = "Field is missing"

You can locate (and I would recommend you print out) FileMaker error messages in FileMaker Help/Index/error message.

I don't know how successful you will be at editing multiple records, not having explored that aspect.

I think that in your example, FMP is looking for a field called "-RecID" which of course it cannot find.

Forget trying to edit multiple records with one form.
