Hi
I am experiencing difficulty building a page that displays both a record (as an update record), and associated child files as an updateable grid. It is a typical order / items application. I get to the order record via a grid on a sepate (calling) page.
The record has an orderid, and other fields. The child table 'Items' has an itemid and an orderID. Each of these are of control type hidden on the grid
When I add a record to the editable grid record, I want it to automatically add an orderid equal to the orderid of the parent order record.
I tried using the parameter passed from the ordergrid on the calling page.
global $thisorderid;
global $itemgrid
$thisorderID = CCGetParam("orderID", "-1");
$itemgrid->ds->patid->SetValue($myorderid);
But this did not work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
Russell

 RESOLVED
I found the master-detail example in the example pack , and resolved the issue using the CCGetfromGet() to pluck a value from the URL.
Interestingly, I found that if I set a 'required' value for the itemid, the technique does not work. The function to check for the existence of a value appears to occur before the 'before build insert' event.
I would be interested to know of other ways to get master-detail situations to work beyond using the URL
Thanks
