Can't delete record!

AlanStewart · February 15, 2001

I have an FMP 5 database set up to manage vendor records via an intranet and browsers. Each user has the option to delete, edit or create a new record. Create new and edit both work fine, but when I try to delete a record, I get an error 101. Doesn't 101 mean record not found? I can search for the record I want to delete, even get a record detail of it via my browser, I just can't delete it.

Using: Mac G4, IE 5, FMP5 unlimited.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

please post the code starting with the beginning of the form and related tags and include the code at the end of the forms (submit buttons, etc. ). You could probably clip the middle.

Hopefully this will come across okay. If there's a better way to post the code, please let me know.

Database name: GlobalVendors and using CSS for page formatting.

Thanks for helping, Jeremy!

Syntax.

Please refer to your CDML Reference. "Other tags that are required" Edit Record, the -edit action tag requires -recid. Delete, the -delete action tag requires -recid.

There may be other syntax problems as well. But start here.

Bingo!

You were right: it was missing the recid tags. I must have looked a hundred times at my code before posting and didn't see it. Thanks very much for your help!

Thank goodness for your reply and for this information. I, too, had been staring at my code and manuals for ages trying to figure this out.

Just as an FYI to anyone else who might use this info: I thought I HAD included the recid - but I was getting my record ID from a TOKEN:

- which did not work. When I changed my code back to

everything then worked smoothly.

Hi Skye!

I'm getting the same error now too.

If I view the source code on the page I'm editing, the current recID is correct.

the record is created by the URL:

href="http://hostname:591/progress_reports/FMPro?-db=progressreports.fp5&-format=new_record.html&-lay=report&user_id=[fmp-currenttoken]&project_id=[fmp-currentrecid]&-New=

the page that is returned is:

LOTS OF HTML HERE

</form>

The record is created fine, I just can't edit it. Help please?

FTR - FMP 5.5 running on Win 2K IIS, custom publishing

TIA,

Carrie
