I am evaluating CodeCharge software and need some help with Record Builder. When I use the Record Builder tool the Design and Preview screens show Add, Submit and Delete buttons for the form. When I go to Live Page the only button showing is the Add button. Is this a bug?
If not, how does one use Record Builder to edit records similar to Editable Grid Builder but in a Columnar Format as opposed to a Tabular format.
Is there something similar to Record Builder with navigation buttons and Add, Submit and Delete?
Thanks for any help.

Showing "Add" button is not a bug. It's an important and necessary feature because it's not possible to always perform all 3 operations. If it's a new record then "Submit" and "Delete" buttons don't make sense. If it's an existing record then "Add" button doesn't make sense. The Web application must make a choice between showing one or the other. Since you are simply going to Live Page then the only possible choice is to allow users to "Add" new record, because there is no any record displayed that could be updated/submitted or deleted.
The Submit and Deleted buttons will be shown automatically when you view exactly one specific record that can be updated/submitted or deleted.
There are at least couple methods to implement Record Builder with navigation. One is shown as "Record Maintenance with Navigation" in CCS Example Pack: http://examples.codecharge.com/ExamplePack/NavRecordGrid/NavRecordGrid.php
Another method is to add couple additional buttons to the record form (like Previous & Next) and write couple lines of code in the "OnClick" event of those buttons that will retrieve the previous/next record and change the URL so that those records are displayed. You may need little experience with CCS to implement this, while sample code can also be found on the forums.

Peter,
Thanks for the response but I still have a problem. I went to that example and tried to follow the "steps to recreate." In #1, the last line, says "On Step 6 select the Columnar in the Grid Layout listbox." When I get to step 6 in the Editable Grid Builder I get the "Select Styles", it's the last page. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem? I am following the Record Maintenance with Navigation recreations steps to a tee. Help!
Thanks again for your help.
