Newbie Question - Add New Record If Not in List

[yeltom]

I have a dataview that links to other lists (contact info and education). The data is not complete in the other 2 lists so when the filter is applied the no data message is displayed. When I click on the add new button how can I get the "New" form to populate the data in the name and ID fields that I am using from the original record request.

What type of list are you using? For some type of lists, all you have to do is click edit in the original record and what it does it kinda keeps track of the changes within the same record, so at the bottom of the record, you can click and see all the changes being done. Is this what you are trying to do?

globalstrata thanks for the repsonse.

I am using a dataview WP with data from a custom list. The DVWP contains 2 columns with links to other custom lists. The secondary lists have filters applied based on the Medical staff ID #. List 1 should present all education; med school, fellowship, etc. The problem is that the data for this list is not complete so if nothinig is present in the list for this physician the page is blank. When the user clicks to add info for this Dr. I would like to have the form populate med staff # and thier name in the form.

Any ideas would be helpful.
