I want to create a repeat region with customer details and 2 extra columns on the right side with "edit" and "delete" options. When I click on "edit" it should send the unique ID to an edit_customer.asp page where it then dynamicaly populates my update form. How do i go about assigning the Unique ID the the "edit"/"delete" images and how do i get the Update form to open the corresponding record using DW MX.

In order to open a corresponding detail page to an unique ID, you add dynamic URL param to the anchor tag for "edit" / "delete" images. For example,

< a href="detail.asp?ID=< %= Recordset1.uniqueKey % >" >EDIT< /a >

In this way, you can retrieve a certain record, in your query run in detail page, filtered by the ID (uniqueKey) passed from the URL param.

If you'd like to populate form items in advance for the user, you can set dynamic values to each form items. For example.

< input type="text" value="<%= Recordset1.Name % >" >

How to do this in DWMX? Maybe you can walk through a tutorial in the following URL - this is written for ASP.NET but you can apply the same method for your ASP page.

or alternatively use the built in Goto Detail Page server behaviour.
