Second Insert button not passing ID to insert page properly?

I have a slightly customised results page in that it's a "second level" results page. The first page is www.domainname.com/accountants_results.php. This is a standard DataAssist results page, but on this page I have a link where you can view clients associated with each record, so when you click the link next to the record it passes a variable to the second level results page, i.e. www.domainname.com/clients_results.php?AccountantID=12.

This "second level" results page again is the standard DataAssist results page which has the usual two Insert buttons - one that shows along with the table when there are already records in existence, and one which shows when there are no existing records. I've discovered that although the first one works fine, the second one isn't passing the AccountantID correctly, even though I've copied the button code exactly. It does add the record to the database but it doesn't pass the ID (even though the URL variable seems to be passed to the insert page OK, so the Insert Client button takes you to www.domainname.com/clients_insert.php?AccountantID=12.

Any idea why this Insert button isn't working properly?

I would need to see the code, please attach a copy of the page.

Hi Jason, I've attached the relevant pages. accountants_results.php is the first level results page. The Click Here link takes you to acclients_results.php and I've also attached the acclients_insert page.

I'm confused. which page is it that the problem happens on?

It's acclients_results.php - and it only happens on the insert button that shows when there are no existing records.The other insert button works fine. I've put login and ftp info in the PM section.

on the acclients_insert.php page, in the insert record behavior, you have bound the AccountantID column to the AID session variable.

i don't see where that session is being set.

you should use the AccountantID Hidden form element on your page instead.

Ah, that's what the problem was - I've bound it to the hidden form element and it now works fine. Only one other question - on the acclients_results.php page, when I delete a record, it does delete but it then says "no clients found" and I have to hit the back button to see the updated list of clients. I fear that users will panic and think they've deleted all the records!

change line 127:

$WA_redirectURL = "acclients_results.php?ClientID=".((isset($_POST["WADADeleteRecordID"]))?$_POST["WADADeleteRecordID"]:"") ."";

to:
$WA_redirectURL = "acclients_results.php?AccountantID=".((isset($_GET["AccountantID"]))?$_GET["AccountantID"]:"") ."";

Sorted, thanks again!

you're welcome.
