You need to do two things: 1) Start SIMPLE - create something tiny in Filemaker, and learn how to get it working first. 2) Give us something useful to think about. You have said the equivalent of "My car doesn't work. I tried to start it two different ways. What's wrong with it?" Looking at the form data using <dtml-var REQUEST> is the right idea, but it's better to use <dtml-var "REQUEST.form">. One thing that can cause problems, I have found, is this. If you have an HTML form that has several fields with the same name - as you might get with an automatically-generated form - the form returns them all in a list of the same name. That is, a variable personid might be returned as personid:['23','64'] if there were two personid fields in the form. But if there is only one, the form returns personid:23 which is not a list. <dtml-in> does not work with the second example, since there is no list to interate over. You have to test the length of the form variable to find out whether to use <dtml-in>. Another complication is that you can get the form variables two ways: 1) "REQUEST.personid" 2) "REQUEST.form['personid']" These two expressions are NOT the same! I have found that the first gives you a string, not a list, and you can't iterate over it, even though it looks just like a list when you render it. To use <dtml-in>, you must use form 2). I have no idea why, but I spent a lot of time recently wrestling with exactly this quirk. I don't know what your problems are, but these two points helped me a lot.

I have a long form which contains information from around 100 separate database records..
This is being sent into Zope from a FileMaker form.. Its displayed in a long Zope form (it displays properly...) and edited.. and then I'm hoping to submit it from Zope and use the information to populate a SQL database via a ZSQL method.. I've tried two different ways to get it into my database, both iterating through the results and calling the SQL method on each iteration, and also doing my dtml-in in the ZSQL method itself. Neither have worked..
