what's missing in this form?

Scott,

Remove the "g." on this line:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="g.Module_Code" VALUE="IDS_MyModulecode">

See if that helps...

Re[2]: what's missing in this form?

Hi Scott,

All variables that you pass through a form are automatically globals. By
adding a scope, you actually create a variable called g.g.variable_name.

Hello Darren,

Thanks. I'm not sure why it would be a factor though. Do form using
Mivascript/MM not like to be passed globals? Does allocate the wrong amount
of space for that var?

Thanks, again,

Hello Markus,

Doh! You know, I knew that...(picture an image of me beating my head against
the monitor screen). What does not make sense, it works fine
uncompiled.

Makes perfect sense...I think functions have similar behavior?

Re[4]: what's missing in this form?

Hi Scott

.... That's one of the more subtle differences between compiled vs.
uncompiled... -probably not entirely planned. If I remember correctly,
Miva's developers experimented quite a bit with the way how forms pass
variables, structures and arrays, and some early beta versions of EmpresaVM
came up with some funnies here and there. But you are right, this and the
obvious macro-issues are probably the most important things to consider when
converting uncompiled scripts to a compiled version.

Inside functions it's a bit different. By default, an unscoped var (and
those that are declared outside of a function) is global and available
outside of the function, however it leaves some space for ambiguity. So if
call a variable without indicating its scope, the script looks first for a
value of s.var, if not found then d.var, then g.var, and finally l.var.
Quite often this saves your butt when you forgot to indicate the scope, but
it's also a reliable source of possible bugs. For that reason its always
better to indicate it. In any event, I'd actually prefer that unscoped
variables were treated like locals.

If you use structures, another interesting aspect comes into play: Since
member names can be just about anything (with very few exceptions), it is
possible to have a structure like "g.struc:g.lalala". Looks strange, but
works perfectly fine. In the beginning of my programs, I always catch all
variables from the command line and place them into a structure, called
g.input_variables, and then empty out the orginal variable values. This way,
I don't run the risk of having some unexpected globals floating around just
because someone found it smart to add them through the url or POST. Of
course, in your example from yesterday, this would suddenly create a
structure g.input_variables:g.posted_var, instead of
g.input_variables:posted_var. Welcome in the land of confusion...
