Download files from a repeat region

Hi, I have used Digital File Pro with great success but am trying something new. I have a recordset and a repeat region that shows a list of documents in a database. Each line item has an icon to download the corresponding file. How can I configure the code that the Wizard inserts to make sure it gets the right file? by default it is only getting the first file in the list.

I know it has to do with variables but I have tried a few ways and it does not work. Any guidance appreciated!

your repeat region should contain a download form whith a hidden element that will get the recordID from the recordset:

php:
<form id="form_<?php echo $row_Recordset['ID']; ?>" name="form_<?php echo $row_Recordset['ID']; ?>" method="post"  action="">

  <input name="ID" type="hidden" id="ID" value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['saleID']; ?>" />
  <label for="button"></label>
  <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</form>




Then create a new recordset to lookup the file to download. Set this new recordset to filter the ID column on the ID form element.

In the download file behavior, get the file name from the file name column of the new recordset that was created.
