Linking a Search Page to an Update Page That Uses a Form Manager

[Guest_imported]

Hello Everyone,

I seek your help in solving a problem that I am experiencing with a Web application I developed using Visual Interdev VI. My application consists of the following pages: Search Page, Details Page, Update Page, Quick Report Page, Summary Report Page.

Search Page returns a table grid that contains the rows retrieved from the search. The table has a column in it that is linked to the Details Page via a Query String, which when clicked, gets the details page for that specific record. The search page and the details page work fine together.

Now the problem, when I try the same approach using my Update page that contains an update, add, and delete, and cancel capability, it does not pull up the specific record. The Query String is appended to the URL as it is suppose to but the page returned is not the query string record. I think the returned page is the BOF record. The Update page uses the Form Manager to handle the actions and transitions of that page. I believe that the Form Manager is some how causing the problem, and I think perhaps using the "absolute positioning" might fix the problem, but I do not know how to get there for here.

Can you help me out? The Update page is fully functionally but the Web application has several hundred records, I need to be able to search for and get specific records.

Try turning on the trace feature (if you are using the SOM - Script Object Model) for the page.

<SCRIPT id=DebugDirectives runat=server language=javascript>
// Set these to true to enable debugging or tracing
@set @debug=false
@set @trace=true //****here****
</SCRIPT>

This may give you an idea of what is going on.

Also, add some Response.Writes to dump out some key values at strategic points of your code.
