Dear All, thanks to Henner's suggestion I solved this problem in this way: 1. in the form with the search results I created a linkurl like this:
<a href="<db:linkURL href='<%=userManagerSearch.getWebPath() + userManagerSearch.getManagementPageFileName()+"?NewRecord=CreateRecord" %>' tableName="users"/>" target="newwin" > <span class="tinybutton">NewRecord</span></a> where I put a parameter ?NewRecord=CreateRecord THEN in the form where I have to manage the data: 2) I create a filter in the dbform with this scriptlet: String defaultFilterString; if (request.getParameter("NewRecord")!=null) defaultFilterString="user_name="+(String) request.getParameter("NewRecord"); else defaultFilterString=""; FOLLOWED BY: <db:dbform .......... ......... filter='<%=defaultFilterString %>' /> In this way the first time I create the new record with this "strange filter" and all the others the form has an empty default-filter to work as usual..
