numero = 11886
interpreted = N
texte = OK so I messed up when I first got started using WebCat2.0 and created a database that doesn't use a [cart] to create a unique record ID.What happened is that somebody used the back button and then went foreward using the html and created to identical records based on a name. If they would have started at my add page entry point I have a checker there to prevent this....but oh well it happened. When we tried to delete these records both with the same name it hung webcat. So what I want to do is go back this weekend and import the database into FilemakerPro and add a field that in the future will be a [cart] number so this problem never occurs again. This is all in a database not used for shopping.So can I just make the field where the [cart] value will go and just fill each recored like 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so forth for these 225 some odd records and then any new records will get the [cart] value? Anybody do this yet? Seems like it should not be a problem. Just looking for somebody elses experince who has done this.Live and Learn.=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com =============================================== Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
