Hi all.

I am just starting to get the hang of Lasso, and I think I have an idea of how to accomplish my next task.

So, with Steve Lewis' help, I have been able to add a record to a database, and have the reply page add an additional 2 fields worth of information before displaying the reply page (via an inline). The reply page is also an edit form. THis works really well and I am happy.

The next bit seems a litle harder.

Page 1 - add record fom
PAge 2 - edit form
Page 3 - non-editable detail with a conditional logic-initiated inline

In english - if the user has chosen "yes" for a specific field, I need the inline to add a record to a second database and display not only the record that was added to the database, but an edit record form that shows the record that was added to the second database in an EDIT record form

Let me show you the way i think it works (im using {} for my comments}

Here are the form tags from Page2

<input type="hidden" name="-Database" value="dev_cqa_samples.fp3"> <input type="hidden" name="-Layout" value="cqa_samples"> <input type="hidden" name="-Response" value="new_reply.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="-AnyError" value="record_detail_error.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="-RecordID" value="[RecordID_Value]">

On page 3 I have this

{ Standard Non Editable Response table showing the fields from the record in dev_cqa_samples }

then i add this underneath

[If:(Field:'Defect')=='yes']

[Inline: Database='dev_cqa.fp3', Layout='cqa', , Add] {i would assume that within the add inline, I would need to use , for instance, "create_date=(Form_Param:'create_date')" for each field within the inline before the add] }

after that Inline, I want the following editable form to appear. {or something that will be close to this}

<form action="Action.Lasso" method="get">
<p> <input type="hidden" name="-Database" value="dev_cqa.fp3"> <input type="hidden" name="-Layout" value="cqa"> <input type="hidden" name="-Response" value="add_defect_reply.htm"> <input type="hidden" name="-AnyError" value="record_detail_error.htm"> </p>
<center>
<h1>CQA Defect Record for radio # [Field: 'serial_number']</h1>
<h2><b> Date Written:</b> [Field: 'create_date'],[Field: 'create_time']</h2>
<h2>product [Field: 'product']</h2>
<h2>shoporder [Field: 'shop_order']</h2>
<h2>Defect?
<select name="defect" size="1">
<option SELECTED> [Value_List:'symptom']
<option value="[ValueListItem]">[ValueListItem] [/Value_List]
</select>
</h2>
<input type="Submit" name="-Update" value="Edit Record">
</center>
</form>
[/Inline] [If:(Field:'Defect')=='yes']
</center>
[Else]<b> no defect found</b>[/If]

a) is the add inline assumption correct { create_date=(Form_Param:'create_date') }
b) how do I get lasso to know which record from dev_cqa.fp3 to show in the edit form?


Thanks in advance
Kiru
