Bob,

First make sure that you error_log("recId: {$_POST['-recid']") right  
before the call(s) that are doing the edit. Then do what you say, try  
to reproduce the problem. If you can, have a look at the error log.  
If it reports an incorrect recId you'll start debugging the code,  
while if it reports a correct recId I suppose you'll have to check up  
on FX or Filemaker.

To really know what's coming to your pages when the pages are posted  
you can instead log json_encode($_POST), which will give you a  
readable JSON string in the log. It's neat when you want to see a lot  
of information, and another upside is that you can copy and decode  
the logged string if you need to reproduce the same information at  
some point. Just a simple but useful tip.
