Database Validation --Experts HELP - 7/20/2004 13:26:51   
I have created a Frontpage database and used the Spooky Diet to make all changes, everything seems to be working correct.

However I did set my Access Database with a Primary Key and I said no to Duplicates, but the Form still submits with no error. It pretends to Sumbit but the newest record added doesn'y really get added. (Confused Yet?)

Bascially I want to know how to get an error message went a user submits a record with the same Primary Key.

Like I said the background is working because it will not add the record, but if gives the user no error. It acts as if it is submitting

PLEASE HELP! I know there is some code to enter but where!!!!

Thanks in Advance

Hi

does it never post a new entry?
does the primary key "auto generate", or does the user have to create it?

Are u using the FP wizzards or ASP directly?

I seem to have the same problem, I also did the same procedure... placed the code on diet.
I did mine using FPW and set the primary key to No duplicates. the primary key in my table is user generated.

Hope someone could help...

Hello Spooky,

yes, I can see the records inside the tables and can display them as well

Have you used any 'reserved' words or special characters in the names of the database design?

No, I did not use any reserved words or special characters.. the fields I used was emp_no, Question_1....Question_31, supervisor and the rest of the fields are the FP generated ones.

New Entries are created No Problem! The Primary Keyt was autogenerated in Access as 'ID' however I changed it to reflect my primary key.

I used FP Wizard to Create all ASP then used the Spooky Diet to edit.

Thanks for the reply

Yes I have a Database Search to pull up a Record Matching the Primary Key

Everything in the code end is working, I just a looking to create a message when a user enters a already used Primary Key.

On duplictes it allows entries with the same Primary but it never records in database. User goes directly to the Form Confirmation when they submit a duplicate

Thanks for the response.

Is was wondering it a Validation Text in the Access Database itself will help?

Also I am not using any Reserves, but I do have over 80 Fields in the form. I don't think that will effect my issue thought.

I am not a pro, but I guess that you have to "loop" through the Primary Key. If the Primary Key = Entered Value you can do a response.write or a response.redirect.

But again....I am not a pro.

Kind regards,
Koen

Hi,

I kinda found a solution to make the error message appear, you can try this solution from Microsoft.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;314440

To work around this problem, follow these steps:

1. Open the Fpdbform.inc file located in the _fpclass folder.
2. Locate the FP_DumpError(strErrorUrl, strMsg) function.
3. Remove the line that looks like this:

"On Error Resume Next"

4. Save and close the file.

It'll display an error "Cannot update database".. but you can edit the FP ASP component on top of the page by replacing the error message.

Hope it helps.
