Hello all. This is my first time post on these forums, but I have been using DWUD4 for quite some time. Macromedia has indeed gone above and beyond and created a FANTASTIC website development tool! However, I have some questions.Suppose I connect to an Access Database that uses a Local DSN setup through my IIS server. I can connect to, update, insert and delete just fine, but suppose there's a table called tblUsers, and a field called fldSSN (for social security numbers)
If I goto a place in my website and press "BIND" it inserts the value of fldSSN to the location the cursor is at. This is what I want. However, I go somewhere else in the page and Bind that field to another location. Save and move the page to the server and then view it, and only 1 of the binds will ever work at a time.
So how do I get it where I can use 1 field multiple times on a webpage?
My thanks in advance.

That's strange, can you try this again ?
it works great for me, dennisvg.homeip.net/MySite/Music/Untitled-2.asp
i just made new page, query, binded in the title, the firstReleased, the lyrics and the title 2 more times, works fine as it always did. it created this code for me:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<p><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("SongTitle"
.Value)%> </p>
<p><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("FirstReleased".Value)%> </p>
<p><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("Lyrics".Value)%></p>
<p><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("SongTitle".Value)%></p>
<p><%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("SongTitle".Value)%></p>
</body>
along with the headcodes for the query.
With kind regards,

Thanks for your help.
But I'm still having the problem.
Let me explain this in full.
Upon going to page www.page.com/file.asp?id=2?lock=123123123123
I have UD4 Not Only CREATE A RECORDSET to something of the effect of:
SELECT * FROM DSNConnection WHERE id = MMColParam AND lock = MMColParam2
(MMColParam = id pulled from URL and MMColParam2 = lock pulled from URL)
Testing the connection works fine.
But I also make LINKS on the page. In this case it's a place where they can do many things such as:
PLACE AN ORDER (order.asp)
TRACK AN ORDER (track.asp)
But I have it create links to each one of those dynamically.
order.asp (then I click PARAMETERS and I make 1 value called "id" and dynamically set it to "id" from the Recordset.)
(then I add another value called "lock" and dynamically set it's value to "lock" from the database.)
So now I assume the dynamic link made is:
order.asp?id=1?lock=123123
And it is. Ok, that's good. So I continue to do the same with the track.asp link
But when I upload it and look at it's link, I see:
track.asp?id=?lock=
I look at the code, and BOTH of them say:
id=<%=(DSNConnection.Fields.Item("id".Value)%> and
lock=<%=(DSNConnection.Fields.Item("lock".Value)%>
It works for the first dynamic link, but not any residual ones. 8<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Any help on that?

Try it like this:
order.asp?id=<%= (DSNConnection.Fields.Item("id".Value)%>&lock=<%=(DSNConnection.Fields.Item("lock".Value)%>
track.asp?id=<%= (DSNConnection.Fields.Item("id".Value)%>&lock=<%=(DSNConnection.Fields.Item("lock".Value)%>

That is EXACTLY what I have. ANd still, only the first referncing those fields has the link come out right.
The others are left with order.asp?id=&lock= for a link. Makes no sense to me... I thought it was a UD4 limitation.

I think I found a way around my problem.
Sure I would have liked to found the reason why others can do it and I can't, but what cha gonna do?
Anyways, I setup 2 REQUEST Data Sources that queried the URL for the ID and the LOCK value. When I went to build the dynamic links, instead of pointing to the Recordset I made (that was created from polling the URL as well), I pointed it to the REQUEST variables. Lo and Behold, it worked!
So now the link code is:
invoice.asp?id=<%= Request("id" %>&elk=<%= Request("lock" %>
Tada! 8
