Hello,
I need to enable a user to add a contact on the fly if they are not
available when they are inserting a record in another database.
The problem is when they return from adding the contact and prior to saving
the new record, the changes they typed are gone.
I'm using a dropdown list to select contacts, but branch to another page to
add a new one.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks
Frank

Frank,
to preserve values of filled fields you should transfer all field values as
parameters to the page where you add new contact and back to record form. To
implement it, add fields which values you want to preserve to list of output
parametres of URL field (which linked to add new contact from) and also set
them as input parameters for this form. For add new contact from set these
parameters as Input and marke them as Transfered.

Hellen,
I did as you stated, but the second form does not show the fields available
for input. What did I do wrong?
Thanks

Frank,
as for AddContact form the suggestions still the same: set input parameters
(don't select table fields, just specify correct parameter's names and
ignore warning CC message about " Attribute: Field - Attribute is
required.") and mark them as transfered inspite of there's no such fields in
table using on AddContact form.
As for first record form I looked closely how to add entered by user field
values into URL. You should add some JScript code for it. I send you little
example (.ccs file and db dump) to see how to implement such functionality.
It has two record forms, user fills the info one the first, then can click
on url to got to the second and fill card info, them return to the first and
get filled info preserved.
Example has some JScript and 'Before Show' event on Company form.
Inform me if you need .mdb db for it, 'cause I don't know what language and
db do you use and I used PHP+mySQL to create this example.
