FP Database Wizard and changing code

[Art]

How can you change the code created by FP database wizard?

When I go to the HTML view and make changes, FP overwrites
teh changes when it saves the page

Do I need another editor?

Make the change in the "<!--webbot bot="DatabaseRegionStart"......." section
and not in the script itself. When you change it in the webbot section it
will change it in the script.

HTH,

Make your change in the gray colored code (not the maroon) and save your
changes while you're still in HTML view.

I appreciate your posting in response to my question.

I tried inserting <%=Left(recordset("link"),10)%>
in the line below where I have indicated but it refuses to
save.

Am I trying to insert it into the wrong place? My goal is
to limit the size of the column link to only 10 characters

Thanks again and I appreciate anything you can add

Remove the grey code and modify like this :

<%="<a href=""" & FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"link") & """>" &
Left(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"link"),10) & "</a>"%></td>
