Need help with update form...
« on: July 29, 2009, 10:13:35 AM »
This is frustrating the crap out of me.   I know it's something simple but I cannot - for the life of me - firgure it out.   I've went back and forth from the examples and the docs and I just can't get it.   

Okay...

I have a update form.  On that page I have a child browse.  When I try to enter a record into the child browse, the field that relates the child to the parent is not being primed properly.   I tried:

Under Priming in the Update Form
PHO:RecordNumber = p_web.GetValue('HOT:RecordNumber') but that is not working.

Parent Table is: HotSheet
Parent Key:  :    HOTKeyRecordNumber

Child Table is: Photos
Foreign Key:     PHO:KeyRecordNumber

It is one-to-many.

I don't know folks what I'm doing wrong.....

Try

PHO:RecordNumber = p_web.GSV('HOT:RecordNumber')

When stuff like this is not working for me I put a debug message in for

p_web.GetValue('HOT:RecordNumber')
and
p_web.GSV('HOT:RecordNumber')

to see what value they both return

Thank you Kevin.   I'll try that out as soon as I get to my development machine.

Hi Don,
When data base fields are involved, ALLWAYS use GSV!!!
GetValue is for parameters only.

Hello Rene,

Thank you.   Still going uphill on the Web Server learning curve  ;D .
