If you are using -RecID to do finds you may have problems.

You should really only use RecID for actions such as -Edit or -Update and -Delete basically after you have found the record.

The reason for this is because unlike a serial field RecID can change for a given record when the database is closed and then reopened or recovered(it will always stay unique) and should only be used when it is returned from the database by the replacement tag [RecordID_Value] or the CDML equivalent.

[Keith M. Davie]

The first line "...&-RecID=45..." uses the record id which is internal to FileMaker.

The second line "...&id=126..." suggests that the database file contains a field named "id" which is to be searched.

SIMPLIFY ...
