I am fairly certain Justin is correct. When you create a record DataMgr will return the value of the primary key, which you can then use to run any other saves you need.

@Derik, if you use http://formutils.riaforge.org/ in conjunction with multiple line inputs you will find this easier than you likely could imagine. I have used the two together for AJAX apps with great satisfaction.

@Derek:
You would have to make 2 insert calls (someone correct me if I’m wrong here) The insertRecord returns the inserted ID, so you could make one call to insert un/pw, use the returned id and make a call to insert contact info.

I have to agree with you Mike. I’m using DataMgr for a new project and it is saving me tons of time. I’ll probably have to try out ORM for the next project though…

How does it handle multiple table inserts from one form? say username, pwd in one and contact info in another.
