Will FP let me do this?

[Terry On Windigo]

I want to place a database results wizzard on a page and then with asp, go
back and add a checkbox to the beginning of each record. There will be
about 15 records returned each time. If the user clicks the checkbox, I
then want a field modified in the record and written back to the database.
I know how to do the asp stuff. My question is will the wizzard let me add
the asp to the page, and will it react like I think it should? I have
noticed in the past that the database wizzard doesn't like to be tampered
with, but this might not even be an issue. I hope not.

You may have to write it from scratch.....but why not try the database
interface wizard, which has the "edit record and "delete record"
capabilities.

But as you've pointed out, modifying the ASP that FP generates will be
"reset" to the original code when you save the page.

Thanks, that looks like it is going to answer my question of yes I can do
that. I'm going to play around with it tonight and see what I can come up
with.
