Hi all -
I am building a site that helps students write scientific papers. One of the problems that I am running into is that on a given page, I will have a text area in which the student will input some information that will be submitted to a database. I want a new record created for each student, but at the same time, I also want the students to be able to come back to the text and be able to change and save it on the exact same page without creating a duplicate row. Any ideas on how to implement this? As of now, I keep getting "before start of result set" errors. Thanks in advance!!!

Sence the record is already created by the student - right? The student really updates the previous text, so I think you could use the "UPDATE Form".

Try a simple search form - student name or id., display the results page on the search page with the text field that needs to be updated.

This is truely the "Update Record Form" process.

Good Luck
