Heya JPD,

I have a problem Modifying records in my latest database. I can log in, search for records, they show up, but as soon as I try to Modify I get:

There were problems modifying the record: (can't find requested record)
Please fix any errors and submit the record again.

This happens even when I log in as Admin. I use a Userid field. Here are some settings:

$db_key = 'Userid';
$db_key_track = 0; (I use unique userids)$auth_user_field = 44; (the # of Userid)

What message would I get if the DB file is locked by someone else?

Adding works fine. Deleting works fine. Where should I start to look?

It's almost certainly something to do with your key field. Do you have a field in your form for the key field?

You probably wouldn't get an error message if the file was locked by someone else. It would just take longer for things to happen.

No I didn't have one! I figured...seeing as I don't want them to change it... but of course it still needs to be there to be able to save the info when modifying!

For the sake of others who may make the same stupid error as I did, this fixed it in my form:


Thanks Carol!

Well, don't feel too bad. If others hadn't made the same error -- including me! -- I wouldn't have thought of it to ask.
