    'hidden' insert without templates

    Hi,

    We're setting up a prototype for new site with the evaluation version of ASPdb. Great software!

    We've been battling the following (probably common problem;

    An anonymous user is being asked to enter data about themselves using the 'add through form' method. After submitting the record by clicking the button, we want to add some 'hidden' status information, like new(boolean) and a usertype(text).

    We have a 'working' solution by adding two read-only predefined edit flds, but they are visible in the form.

    Since the record contains at least 5 drop lists and additional fields, we prefer not to use templates.

    A more generic way of solving this could be to get a clean handle to the record inserted and then do some silentcmd or visual basic magic. We don't know how to get that handle.

    Some tips are highly appreciated.

    TIA

    Robert

    Hi Mark,
    Thanx for the support. This is already better. Of course it would be perfect if we could not show the edit field at all during add. any developments in that direction?
    Robert.
