Hello,

I am both new to VDF and AJAX, but I have completed my first application in
VDF using the AJAX libraries and now I am off to my second. The first
application I built was fairly simple and I only needed to save data to the
main DD. I was succesfully able to do that with the AJAX libraries. In my
second application, I am going to have multiple DD's and I am going to need
to save data to them. In my current project, I have one DD set as the main,
and thats the only one I can save into. The others I add I cannot save to
even though they are added to the web object.

I have been looking over the examples in the AJAX libraries, but I think I
may be making this to complicated. Can someone please give me some insight a
help me out with this?

Regards,
Brady Siebe

Hi Brady -- and Welcome to VDF!

When I read your post the first thing that came to my mind was to wonder if
you have verified the underlying relationships among your datafiles. In my
experience when I do not get saves as expected with VDF, whether webapp or
not, a review of the data structure as I have it defined is generally enough
to show me the error of my ways :-)

I'd suggest starting there.

Good luck,
Joe

Hi Brady, one thing to keep in mind is that by it's nature, a WebApp doesn't
always show errors to the users, especially when they occur in the back end,
like a duplicate record error or a missing parent record. Be sure you have
the WebApp service communicating with the desktop, and you might try the
error logging package Eddy posted under the "New Server" thread, it works
quite nicely in reporting these kinds of errors.
