how do you delete/update multiple records in the same table ?

from 1 form ?

Ok figured out how to do this 1,
ill write a tutorial later but heres how if ane1 needs to know

ADD a normall Update or Delete behaviour in your form. UD4 then adds a hidden value which requests from your unique key.
change this value to a variable which is set to the critiria u want matched to be deleted
1 other thing once you do this a RED exclamation mark will apear in your server behaviors, thats fine it will still work just dont open the behaviour or ud4 will set it back.

i am curious, how do you determine the value in the hidden field ?
I use that trick to update different fields in a record, so i was wondering what you use this for and how does it work if it is to effect multiple records, is there a page before this one where the user determines that value through a form or link ?

well yes, there is a page before that inserting the into another table then sticking a request.form into url param. which passes it to the hidden value in the form <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
