I noticed that when someone goes to the edit screen for a field, they get both the edit and the add new forms. Also, I notice that the table formatting parameters were lost.

Can anyone tell me how I can have only the edit screen for the specific record show up w/out the add new form, and how I can get the table parameters to pass through as well?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Sincerely,

Hi Tim,

The Edit screen was designed to be an "all in one" solution for doing
everything: add, update and delete. If you want to just do one of those
other functions, just include that button in the dbNavigationItem property.
If you don't want to have Edit, leave that button out.

As far as passing the table parameters, I assume you mean the formatting
parameters such as border, cellspacing, etc? That's not as easy as it sounds.
Since the edit screens are forms with unique needs such as multiple columns,
numerous submit buttons (copy, return, add, etc.), we'd need to add new
properties for each of these screens. Additionally people have asked for
the ability to "wrap" or "snake" the fields into multiple columns (like you
can with the form and grid) for when they have many features.

We've decided to add this feature to version 2, and we're working on some
way to let you create your own "template" to specify where you want your
fields. We know this is a hot request. Stay tuned to our main page at
www.aspdb.com for info about V2. We should have something up there within
3 or 4 weeks and hope to have the software out shortly thereafter.

Thanks,
John
