Update Record Trigger

6/18/2012 1:38 am | #1 jason363662

I have a multi-page form and I would like to have the last page update the record without any submission from the user. I'm passing a calculation based on a session variable and a timestamp and the user doesn't need to see it.

If I use the "before page load" trigger, which seems like the natural, it passes all null values from my fields.

If I change it to "Button <my button> Pressed" it works just fine.

What am I missing here?

without seeing the code, it's rather tough to tell, but my gut says the issue is the order of the code.

I would guess that the code that perfumes the calculation is after the update record code, and it should be before.

Here's the code - I moved the Update Record behavior down, still no dice

I thought this might be it as well, but I moved the behavior down and it still doesn't work. Keep in mind this form works fine if I trigger on button press, but no if I change trigger to Before Pageload. Is there some other code above that's triggering?

I stripped out everything from the form but the most important detail for this page of the form.

Code

}

$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

Interesting... I have never seen a page with the insert behaviour at the bottom before.

It looks like you have set your behaviour to run on page load, but you are using POST values in it. I assume those values from a different page and that you are not trying to get a POST value from the current page without performing a POST event?

Cheers

in the update you are using a form value which wont exist unless the form is submitted, instead of using the form values in the update, use the recordset values that you are using to populate the form.

for example, the code you are using for the CurrInvNum form element:

php:

<?php echo $row_rsArt['Art_InvNum']+1; ?>

use that in the update for the value of the artist_invnumcurrent instead of binding to the CurrInvNum form element
