Two questions
Hello everyone:

#1 - should be simple
I would like to have a section on my main page that allows a visitor to select a state to search via a drop down menu and a simple "go" button. I have tryed working on this, but for some reason...."not sure why"....I have been unable to get it to work.

#2 - Auth Options :-(
I was able to delete records yesterday, and I changed a few of the Auth Options to allow default users to view....

Now I go into delete (with admin access), list all, check a few boxes....press delete...and it says:

"The following records were deleted from the database: ''."

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Regarding question 1 -- what have you tried? Could you post the code here so I have some idea of what you want?

Regarding question 2 -- looks to me like you are having a problem with your key field. Have you added or deleted and fields since you created your database?

Thanks for the response. I will try to explain it better.

Regarding ? #2

I was able to download everything, and delete all of the entires that were already in the default database, and upload the user friendly html.pl

Then I made my changes to the $db_def, uploaded it, and added an item.

This is where i start to see a problem. It comes back with "Record Added", but there is nothing listed in the fields.

So...I tryed to View it, and it is there.

Then I figured that I would test the Delete section. I do a Search and locate the 1 entry that is in the database, check the box, click on Delete, and it comes back with the "Records Deleted" screen....but it does not show the # of the deleted record...and the record is still out there.

I have started from scratch three times, and I am still unable to get past this.

Once again....any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I was able to locate the problem. I think that it was lack of coffee.

When I redid the default.cfg I did not change the $db_key

Thanks for your help
