RE: Creating an Update Query using Frontpage - 12/16/2003 18:30:05
Alright, I got a DRW page to open up an update form, into that form i copied the basic html layout information from the form used to enter the data so that it will look the same. I'm in the process of setting the fields to display data from the database by using:
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="PickedBy" SIZE=7 MAXLENGTH=7 value="<%PickedBy%>"> <b>Date Picked</b>:
I've come to a part where I need to set it to display whether or not a checkbox is checked or not and I've no idea where to begin with it. any ideas?

What is the condition that must be met for the checkbox to be marked? Here is a sample I worked up. If the record's RecordingArtistName is Homer, the box shows checked. You get the idea.
<input type="checkbox" name="C1" Value=ON <%
If FP_Field(fp_rs,"RecordingArtistName")="Homer" Then
Response.write "Checked"
End If
%>>

RE: Creating an Update Query using Frontpage - 12/17/2003 13:34:57
the option itself looks like:
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="ScaleCounted_Yes" value="ON">
i'm just not sure how to word it to recognize whats in the access database, the field in the database says its "text". Is the access side using "on' and "off" to determine this? the table itself was built by letting frontpage build it to the form so I'm unsure how exactly it works.
also tresting out the update query page i get the error:
"Loop Expected"
any idea what thats all about?

You are correct. If FP creates your db then a checkbox in the form creates a text field in the db. You will have essentially one value. The default in FP is "ON", but you could use Yes or True whatever. What happens is if the box is checked then the value you decided on is entered into the db. If the box is not checked nothing is entered or in an update form, any value in that field would be deleted if the checkbox is not checked on the update form. I am guessing your db is using "ON", so try this code:
<input type="checkbox" name="C1" Value=ON <%
If FP_Field(fp_rs,"YourFieldName")="ON" Then
Response.write "Checked"
End If
%>>
As for the "Loop Expected" error, I'll have to get back with you.

I will try that, I've ran into another error which prevents me from knowing if that will work or not. I fixed the Loop error lol. Thats what I came in here to state and here you were.
