Hey guy’s
If any of you could help it would be very much appreciated as I have just started UltraDev
And need some help on this issue, actually two of them.

I’ll start with my ‘goal’. I will have one page with the seven fields each one coming from a simple, one table database. No problem so far. I have it where it will display one record at a time and a recordset established to get an order for the records.

There are approximately 89 records ( the records are names of servers in a computer room by the way ).
I can put a button on this one page and code it “next record” and another button for “previous record”.
No problem here either and it is doing exactly what I want, going from one record to the next without having a page for each one.

But when I write a recordset to get one and only one record ( system in this case ) and put the button to go to that record, not only does it not go to the record I have established in the recordset, it disables the next record and previous record buttons.

What I would really love is a list menu that will pull up whatever rcord they click on but I have had NO luck in getting that to work.
2nd alternative is a table with each of the system names and each name be a button. When the click on the system name/button it will pull that record up. And all of this be on one page.
Just don’t want for them to have only next and previous record to navigate.
Any suggestions?

I will check back here for any replies but my e-mail is

Your first alternative is the best way (in my opinion).
Insert a 'Jump menu', then use the 'Dynamic Element' from the Server Behavior list to associate the list with the db/field/recordset.
Then create a page that only shows the one record (filter by ID or suchlike).

You should then be able to jump straight to the record you want to view.

TIP: put the jump menu at the bottom of the display page for the viewer to go to another record without having to go back.

I hope this is of some help.
