Kathleen - I hand coded the page getting rid of all the DBW stuff.
Fortunately I only needed 14 fields to be input. I use the input page>write
to database page>custom confirmation page approach. I am tired of wasting my
time with the DBW unless it is some simple application without any
customization. I still use the FP BOTS to check input validation in most
cases.
I wish there was a way to insert variables into the DBW but since FP is
going away...
