Sounds like you want to edit, if the user enters in the same ID as an existing entry. This is a somewhat special case. 1) Disable your validation. At the moment its operating like an add, since there is no ID in the form submission and your isUnique is screwing things up. 2) You are going to have to do some in-controller processing to deal with the data submitted: - Check the ID supplied - if it exists, load the data, overwrite with supplied data, and save - if it didnt exist, save new record. I would be ensuring validation on the fields you need with the exception of the ID. Cheers, Graham Weldon e.
