texte = This is my problem:I have a db file that consists of 2 fields: Name, Materials. The name field is a person's name and the Materials field has the value YES or NO. I display a list of all the names and a checkbox next to each name that is checked if the value is YES or unchecked if the value is NO.I want to be able to have the user change the value of the checkbox for any number of names IN THIS LIST and then submit the page, which will then go and update all the records in the database file that have new values for the Materials field.I don't even know if this is possible with webdna, as I don't want the user to have to go into each record individually; I want to allow the user to update all the records from a list and then replace the values in the db file.This is the only approach I can think of:Since the checkbox next to the names in the list is a form variable, I could pass all the values, to the next page and retrieve them that way, but how do I tie them back with the Names in the db file. I thought of writing a temporary database that would record the names from the search in order and then try to tie the materials field to the right name using [Index] with formvariables. But I can't get this to work.Has anyone ever done anything life this or is it even possible?Thanks.Sally ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
