db update - duplicate error

use the webassist tool to build the database pages,

before i stated to custimse tried d out as follows
add records ok
went back to results page
from results page token edit option make changeto one record,
updated one fied omly,
got - Duplicate entry '0' for key 'PRIMARY' , but primary is set to auto increment can still add ok but just seems to be ALL updates

it appears tht the correct iinstrutorid is beig passes around, appear to be correct, ththas if the first record is 0, parmas fro results - update - detail (what shuold be ) , only record 0 updates rest fail
any suggestions

send a copy of the update page please and your table schema so i can get a better understanding.

done some moire testing with the following hope this helps


Created simple Table

ID – auto increment primary key
T1 – text 80 long
T2 – text 30 long

Used option to create database pages, did this , changing ID to hidden and including all fields on all reports (ex search)

Results opened up, no records as expected,

insert entered text in T1, pressed insert,
record added as record #1
update filled in details T2, pressed update
got blank details page saying
This record been removed,
ID now changed to #0

results showed details of #0
update more changes made all worked
insert added new record ID #2
update #2 Duplicate entry 0 for PRIMARY

added further records , tried to change, with same results

next test
truncated table
added 3 records
the first record to be updated its ID id changes to 0 , and its only this record that will accept changed yet more records can be added.

Hope this helps

nb verified ID's with Navicat

send a copy of the pages please and your table schema so i can get a better understanding.

hope this info helps

in the update record behavior, you have bound the WAID primary key column, never bind the Primary key column to a value, let the database manage the primary key column.

this is happening straaight out of the box so to speak i have done no changes, susoect there may be a glictch somewere .. you could consider trying the tests i did earlier to see if the change to record # is causing this error.


jist got to workout what neets changing

I am not able to reproduce the problem running the wizard.

you will need to edit the update record behavior, and remove the binding for the WAID column

now understand errors of my waYS

THANKS
