Default Form submit question


With DRW I created a form from the following statement
update data set
projdesc=':rojdesc::',
part=':art::',
projentry=':rojentry::',
projact=':rojact::',
where projgen=':rojgen::'
Can I get the form only to update the database when information is typed
into a particular field. Now if I wanted to update the part field I would
have to fill in the rest of the fields before hitting submit or the database
record would be blank for those other fields.
Maybe there is a smarter way to do this

Thanks, for the help
-Greg

Default Re: Form submit question

What you should be doing is populating the form fields with the existing record values and then editing that form
- that way fields not changed will get written back as they were

You should use the DIW, not just the DRW
