DECS and Multivalue updates

Hopefully I can explain this so it makes sense…

I have a Notes form with a multi-value field called Responsible. It gives you a drop down list of names and you can pick more than one.

This form also has a number associated with it.

For the sake of argument, we’ll call it document 1 and you chose Becky, Mary and Sally.

I have a SQL table that I want to put in all the names associated with a document into so it should look like:

DocID | Name


1 | Becky

1 | Mary

1 | Sally

I can get DECS to do a create but updates fail. For example, if I want to remove Sally or add Jim I get ‘Realtime service error: updating external record’.

DECS admin log says ‘Monitor failure – Field count mismatch’

Can DECS do what I want? Any work arounds for this?

Thanks in advance,

Scott
