Hello,

If someone logged into modify_form,

he searches his record to modify. And

he adds some more informations then confirms.

Can this information direct add as a new record in db

(not modifies an existed record)?

What would be the reason for doing this? Modifying a record just changes 1 or more of the fields- the format is still the same.

Hello Motlow,

Thanks for the reply.

Because the user had to find his record first to add additional informations

is neccessary to seek his record first and then follows to add new informations

with existing profiles, for example searchs with company name and then

can be added more informations with tel. and so on..

That should be added as a new record.

In a result, can be searched with company name and will give a

result under a same company name with more than one records.

Could someone please help me?

I'm not sure I understand but I'm guessing you are trying to find a way to add another record using the same information, by making a copy of some of the same fields.

If this is what you are trying to do perhaps this thread will provide the solution.

Thanks a ot LuisC

It was very good reference where can start to look at what is more can be done

in that way. The few things i must think of

from the modify Making a "COPY" of a record is

, after a parent enters the information about a child, tehy can add

more lost childs without add other info a second time.

Can mother add more records later on?

For example, come back next time on dbman and searchs her records

can then add several informations?

You can add more records later, but as a new records only. When you normally add records it will not bring in the same information from an other records.

Hm, i have in a moment no other choices.

I can not code around with db.cgi for that either.

You may want to check into JPDeni's relational mod which allows for one record (Mother) to be associated with multiple records (children) in another database.

Thanks Karen,

I thought about that over the weekend.

and found out which helps to cope the limits

of flat db in very goog extend.



thanks for dbman team!
