Hi,
I need some pointers on the Designer 2.1.1 web module termonoligy. I need to be able to define module with INSERT and UPDATE possibilities, but no query. They receive a primary key upon call (key related or by parameter) and should show an exiting row if found - if not pop up the INSERT screen (not to wait for the user to push INSERT).

Further more I would like a menu to point to all modules - but the menu is bound on a shared primary ky for all modules. The user starts by selecting this primary key. The module type MENU cannot be used as it does not have attributes to store the selected key - hence it cannot pass it on to the other modules. But even if I use an standard module, how do I bind the parameter value to the modules query condition (the where clause of the query) and force the module to try to query this row upon call and if not go to INSERT instead of writting "Query caused no records to be found". What I'm looking for is the web equiviant to Forms build in functions.

Any help would be greatly appreachiated.

Thanks
