elvis_impersonating_penguin Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 i think when you are editing or deleting a record you need to have a record ID in there.. try putting this hidden field in there with all the other hidden fields. <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currentrecid]"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 JoeF, you should be using your CDML Reference database. Refer to "Edit Record" in that database. You will find a list of "Other tags that are required". SIMPLIFY ... Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted April 20, 2001 Share Posted April 20, 2001 A tip for the future: go to FMP Help aand print out the section for the Status(CurrentError) function. This will list all/most of the error codes, so you'll be able to look them up. Generally they are pretty clear aand often quickly lead to the solution. Similarly, include the error code in yourr post to the forum. I'm surprrised that nobody has asked you what the error was! Without that information, everything is guesswork.
