Hi. I'm trying to build a DBMan db for my son's Cub Scout den and I'm having a little difficulty. It's probably really simple, but...

Each boy needs to enter information in the db, but has no need of viewing/searching (I'll be printing results for them later). The db is for a group of young boys who aren't entirely computer literate, so I'm trying to make it as easy as possible. To do that, I want to put links on a standard HTML page for each boy. The boy clicks the link and is taken directly to the add_form where he inputs his data.

That's all well and good. I know how to pass the UID on the URL. The problem comes in because I need each link to pass the contents of another field, "Cub_Project", the specific assignment given to each boy.

The result should be that I have list of links on an HTML page. One boy clicks the link with his name, then gets taken to the form with his user name and project name already filled in.

I've searched this board and seen other examples of passing field contents on the URL for View_Results, but not for Add_Form. When I tried the same syntax it didn't work.

I'm not too concerned about security, so if I have to disable or change something in the authorization scheme that's fine.

Can you help? How do I specify the contents of one or more fields on the URL/command line?

Thanks so much,
