Thanks Tom!
Calling the intermediate dtml page which then calls the zsql update method
worked like a champ..
Much appreciated!!!

Do I understand this right - your web page has a series of forms, one per
row from zsqlQueryARecord?  And the user would be sending a text comment
against any one of these rows at a time?

As invoked, zsql_UpdateRecord probably will not be getting any namespace
passed to it, and it will have none of its own. So it can't find the form
data.

 Normally, I would use a dtml document as the target of the form, and that
document would invoke <dtml-call zsql_UpdateRecord>.  This way the
parameters get sent to the method by the dtml document.

Cheers,

Tom P
