Please also remember that every time a web request is made, it is as  
if the user has just logged in, run that one request and logged out -  
I would be especially careful of Scripts if you could have more than  
one web user, as you cannot tell what the 'Found Set' may be - it is  
possible for WebUser1 to run the find, WebUser2 to also run a find,  
and then have the script triggered by WebUser1, which may have  
unintended consequences...

Personally, I have yet to find a reason that I need to run a FileMaker  
script from the web - I'm not saying that there aren't times that may  
be the approach, but I just have never needed to.

In this instance [1] I would probably store the -recid in an array and  
then run a loop to use FMDelete to remove them.

Cheers

[1] Although I'm probably the person Jon is thinking of - I won't ever  
allow a delete via the web anymore. Every system I've ever built with  
this function inevitably has a user get back to me a short time later  
after they managed to accidentally delete something important... I  
flag them, and then do clean up directly through FileMaker every now  
and again.
