Is there a way to use the page number(from the navigation)on a grid as a link parameter to an editable grid that I am using as a maintenance page. It seems it should work, but I just can't seem to get it right.

If the two grids are named the same, then it should be automatic. The paging is accomplished by a URL parameter made of the grid name concatenated with "Page" and its value is the current page number.
I assume your intent is to have the two grids have the same data source and where parameters, so 'page 2' of one show the same data as 'page 2' of the other one.

Yes...that is what I need to happen and I was thinking like you in the beginning...if I named the grids the same. The problem is the grid shows 10 records and the editable grid only shows 1 record. When I create the link on the C_ID on the grid page it always goes to the first record on the editable grid page and not the C_ID link I click.

I think you ought to use a record control on the maintenance page - not an
Editable Grid.

If the editable grid shows only 1 record then there is no difference from the record form. You should use the record form, while you can change the layout to anything you like. Make it look like an editable grid, so your boss will never know...

True...but he wants to be able to browse the records from that screen also. He actually prefers that screen, but wants the grid also.

Well, your initial question was "Is there a way to use the page number(from the navigation)on a grid as a link parameter to an editable grid" and the answer given by Don is the right one.
If your two grids display different number of records then I don't understand how you want to use the page number from the 1st grid on another 2nd grid. What should the 2nd grid do with that page number from the 1st grid? If both grids display different number of records then the page number from 1st seems meaningless to the 2nd grid. Could you please explain how you want to use the page number from the 1st grid?

I agree with Don totally. They do have the same number of records. The problem is that the grid shows 10 records and the editable grid shows 1 record making the page numbers different. I am looking for another solution. Tks

There really isn't one. The Ed Grid doesn't track a 'current' row, thus you
can't 'point' to a specific row on that page is displayed and make it the
current one. This is not due to anything lacking in CCS, it's simply the
way web pages operate.
It sounds to me like your only other option (and perhaps best one, anyway)
is to make the maintenance function entirely an Ed Grid. Do not get mired
down in switching from a Grid page to an Ed Grid page. Direct 'bosses' or
'admins' to the Ed Grid from the start.

tamara,
Maybe you know of an example of another Website or Web application that works the way you intend. It may help in visualizing the solution you are trying to create.
