Your code doesn't search for a particular record, that's why it's not working. When you use [replace], you have to write some *search parameters* into the [replace] tag so WebCat knows which record you want to replace. Just specifying a database is not enough.You may be getting mixed up with [append], but append is different, because when you're appending, you don't care what records already exist in the database, all you care about is adding a new one to the end of the file.Also, don't start your first replace parameter with &, because it's not needed for the first parameter inside the replace context ... and you forgot the brackets around your zipcode variable ... :)Your code:[replace db=mcust.db&append=T]&firstname=[firstname]&lastname=[lastname]&company=[company ]&building=[building]&suite=suite&zipcode=[zipcode]&areacode=[areacode]&phone=[p hone]&faxareacode=[faxareacode]&emailname=[emailname]&specdel=[specdel]&custcode =[math]newnum[/math][/replace] My code:[replace append=T&db=mcust.db&eqSomeFieldData=XXX]firstname=[firstname]&lastname=[lastnam e]&company=[company]&building=[building]&suite=[suite]&zipcode=[zipcode]&areacod e=[areacode]&phone=[phone]&faxareacode=[faxareacode]&emailname=[emailname]&specd el=[specdel]&custcode=[math]newnum[/math][/replace]Sincerely, Ken Grome ken@iav.com 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
