[FX.php List] Portal Records

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Here's an update...

I gave up on the related record idea altogether.

After struggling with it for another couple of hours, I simply 
created 20 new fields in the parent record and used the brute force 
method.

Sigh

>>  Hi Folks,
>>
>>  Can someone offer wisdom on this portal challenge?
>>
>>  I have a form, one field of which offers multiple checkboxes.
>>
>>  The checkboxes are displayed from master list of values.  Let's say there
>>  are 6 colors..
>>
>>  For each value that exists in a related table, I am able to get the check
>>  boxes to appear checked. Let's say that 2 are checked.  So far so good.
>>
>>  Master List             Red     Blue    Green   Yellow  Brown   Black
>>
>>  Related table:          Red(checked)                    Yellow(checked)
>>
>>  So here's the challenge.
>>
>>  When the form is submitted with different boxes checked...
>>
>>  What do I need to do to record checkbox changes, as part of an Edit
>>  operation for the entire form in fx.php:
>>         - Remove a checkmark (should delete a related record)
>>         - Add a new checkmark (should add a related record).
>>
>>  Do I need to create a separate instance  reiteratively comparing the Posted
>>  checkmarks with an array of master value lists.  Sounds clumsy.
>>
>>  Any suggestions?
