Protect of Hide field in form

[Guest]

- querying data from an access database based on a field.
- Allow user to update data
- Submit and the database is updated

Problem: the field I’m using to query the data I don’t want to be shown or
protect the field against update. This field is not updated because it is
not in my update statement, however if the user enters any changes in this
field none of the other fields get updated.

Question:
- Can I hide the query field or protect from update in the form

Try adding "readonly" to the input tag.

I took a trip to Atlanta the other day. When I got there I had 10 dollars
less than when I started.

Question:
Can I take a trip to Atlanta and not lose 10 dollars?

Why can't you answer this question? First, you don't know where I started. I
may live just outside Atlanta. You don't know what means of transportation I
used to go to Atlanta, and you don't know whether I spent the money or lost
it somehow. In addition, assuming I spent it, you don't know what I spent it
on.

I'm having the same problem with your question. You have a web application
(I think - you didn't say) that queries an Access database and allows a user
to update data. Problem is, I don't know how you created the web
application, how it updates the data, and how it uses the (hidden?) form
field. In fact, all I know is that you have a web application (I think) that
uses ASP or ASP.Net (you didn't say), and that it queries a database and
updates data.

Oh yeah, it uses a hidden (or not) form field somehow. Sorry about that. I
guess my analogy wasn't as accurate as yours. I'll tell you what: My trip
was about 20 miles.

Want to try again?
