Update Behavior using Multiple tables

Question

I'm trying to use the Update behavior from Dreamweaver MX2004
to update fields from diferent joined tables. The search form works
OK as I joined the tables and I get great results (see SQL Query
below). When I try to create link to a detail page from the master
page and I use the same recordset as below and I use the update
behavior, I can only choose a table at the time to update fields
using only one key. If I choose only one table and pass one key
field is OK but I need to update all three joined tables. Is there
a way to do something like this in the Link field in the master
page calling the detail page? Is there is a correct way to pass the
three keys from the master page to the detail page? I'm using ASP
and standard SQL. The environment is Windows for testing and SQL
server.
Detail Page Parameters (not sure if this could be done):
details_Admin_Skill_Resource.asp?resourceSkillMapID=
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("resourceSkillMapID").Value)%>?<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("skil lID").Value)%>?<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("resourceId").Value)%>
I'm also inserting hidden fileds in the detail form. Any
Ideas how to update several tables in DW MX2004 with the update
behavior?
This is the query in the recordset and it is working OK as it
produces results from the search page. What modifications I need to
do to this recordset in the update page?
Thank you for your help!!!

This is what I typed in the advanced SQL box in the
recordset.
SELECT
ResourceSkillMapping.resourceSkillMapID,ResourceSkillMapping.skillID,ResourceSkillMapping .competenceLevel,skill.skillname,resource.resourceName,resource.resourceLoginId,resource.r esourceId,resource.profileId,resource.resourceGroupID,resource.resourceType,resource.activ e,resource.autoAvail,resource.extension,resource.orderInRG,resource.dateInactive,resource. assignedTeamID,resource.resourceFirstName,resource.resourceLastName
FROM ResourceSkillMapping INNER JOIN Skill ON
ResourceSkillMapping.skillID = Skill.skillID INNER JOIN Resource ON
ResourceSkillMapping.resourceSkillMapID =
Resource.resourceSkillMapID
WHERE (Resource.resourceLoginID LIKE '%Agent_asp%') AND
(Resource.active = 1)
Variables
Skill_asp for skillName
Agent_asp for resourceLoginID
Default value of variables is 1 to display all records
Runtime
Request.QueryString("skillname")
Request.QueryString("resourceLoginID")

One solution is to create a view in SQL, that is exactly the
same as
your SELECT above. You then use the view name instead of the
table name
in your UPDATE statement. I know in the SQL world that this
is possible,
but I don't know if the Dreamweaver update behaviour will see
the views
stored on your SQL server.
