Is it possible to have a record form and editable grid form on the same screen and only have to have one submit button? Users of some of my apps complain that they must first save the record and then make edits to data in the editable grid -- those lazy users don't want to have to click twice!

Generally no. This is the standard limitation of Web applications and one of the main differences from Windows/desktop applications - only one HTML form can be submitted at a time.
However, some technologies like .NET make this possible by combining multiple forms into one.

I did do something like this but it was certainly difficult and worked outside of the CCS concept.

With an editable grid I added in the additional fields in the editable grid's form and then on the processing side used ccgetparam to retrieve the values.

From there it was all pure ASP with little help from CCS routines.

It worked.. but is only recommended for people who are very conversant with the underlying langauage and concept of the CCS generated code.

Note: - this is nothing against CCS. Its a excellent product for fixing 99% of all requirements. The 1% is up to the programmer to work out.

Take care

Dave
