DRW: Change record source without modifying output

[CJ]

Hi

I've created a DRW search page - see http://www.mymea.co.uk/search_2b.asp

This page references a query in an Access database. There are 2 other
queries in the database, and I want to create to new web pages, identical to
this one, that return the output of the query.

Because I have modified the output of the DRW, I would like to be able to
copy the existing page but modify the record source to the new query.
However when I change the name of the record source in Code view (FP2003), I
get a message that tells me that I have modified the contents of a Frontpage
component, and that my changes will be overwritten when I save.

Is there any way of achieving what I want without having to reformat the DRW
results?

Many thanks.

CJ

Try making the change to the gray colored code, not the maroon, and save
your changes while you're still in Code view.

That worked fine, thanks a lot, you saved me a lot of work!

you will always get this error if you edit the "brown" sections of FP
generated code. Instead, look at the gray line of code above the
brown section, and look for an instance of the datasource you're
trying to change. change it there, and after you save, both it and
the brown code will have changed.
