I would like to have a way to utilize DBMan to link directly to a record. For example, it one of the fields to be entered was a pull down menu of states, how would one be able to link directly from an HTML page to the record in that category?

Thank you!

If you allow a default user to view records, you can create a static search form on an html page.

<form action="http://URL/to/db.cgi" method="GET">
<input type=hidden name="db" value="default">
[assuming your cfg file is default.cfg. If not, put in the name of your .cfg file, without the .cfg part]
<input type=hidden name="uid" value="default">

Then put your search fields in here.

End the form with

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="view_records" VALUE="View Records">
<INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Reset Form">
</form>

You can, of course, change the VALUE= part so that the button says whatever you want it to say.

Straight forward enough. Thank you!
