Webimport Dupcheck Issue

[esfisher]

Hi,

I'm writing a webimport script for an online application that my company
uses. The purpose is to keep client information updated in Goldmine when
they update information on the website.

The problem is that we have a custom field called UPIN that holds their
on-line user id. This is the only real way we have of making sure we are
updating the correct user's information.

I am testing the import on a dummy database that I setup just like our live
database. For testing, I only import the first 10 records and everything
works fine. Then I change my code to DupCheck on the UPIN and instead it
creates a brand new record for that person.

I know that the issue is that I'm using a field that is not a standard. When
I change it to add the UPIN to KEY5 and DupCheck that it works perfectly.

Is there a way to do a DupCheck on a field that is in the bottom pane of the
contact record?

Thanks

I did reply to this the other day and the reply disappeared, not sure what is happening there.

Anyway is UPIN a numerical or character field?
