Parameters

ill try to be clearer. I want to login and go to a details page whick has two tables one holds information about the artists i use ( ArtistID, username and password fields) this as my login table it holds the username and password. when i submit the login form it passes the username and password onto the next page( details page) the details appear on the page fine.

the other table is a guestbook it has an artistgb field which is my auto number and my primary key. i also have a field called artistID this is the link between the two table it displays the messages with the number stored in the artistID field but it only displays them if the paramater of the page i am opening is artistID and the number matches the artistID in the guestbook table.

If the login page doesnt pass the artistID parameter the messages dont appera i need to retrieve the artist parameter in order for their messages to appear on the page.

If you can help me please do and thank you for your time. Sorry i was not clearer before

Yes, well, the problem is that your questions are vague, and without
specific details or a look at your code, they are difficult to do anything
with except either make a vague guess, or just not respond. We are all busy
people too, and we all have businesses to worry about.

Try to ask your questions in clear english (not one long runon sentence),
and try to keep their scope manageable. Now read this, and think about how
anyone could possibly answer it -

i have two tables on my details page one for displaying artist details and
one
for private messages the messages table id is linked to the artists table pk
which is ID i need to get the parameters from this table but when i log in
it
doesnt send the id parameters how can i retrieve them so the messages will
show

There was i thinking these forums were for help. I have a website up and running and a business as a music agent i dont have the time to reaad books at least online you can talk to people with experience or so i thought

All your posts relate to doing the same things. I would recommend purchasing a book to help you learn how to use dreamweaver. Dreamweaver 8 Unleashed would be a good one to start with. It will teach you everything you are tyring to do with this post and all your pasts posts. This way you will actually learn something instead of having to rely on others to tell you how to do it.

Just a suggestion.
