Re: CRUD app interface

Absolutely Jim.

My biggest problem is the "just one more tweak" syndrome!

Personally I tend to use PHPGrid for this because:

a) I already own it (although it is really cheap so that should not be a barrier)

b) To do the base Crud app takes only about 6 lines of code

c) I can take my time "prettying" it up after it is working. i.e. 10 minutes after I start!

Giovanni has a utility on Easy400 called CGI_WRKDBF which you could pretty up if you don't like the interface. http://easy400.net/cgiwrkdbf/html/page1.htm?ts=20181106210808847000 <http://easy400.net/cgiwrkdbf/html/page1.htm?ts=20181106210808847000>

Another SQL driven option is WOW CE from Planet J which is free and very powerful http://www.planetjavainc.com/index.html <http://www.planetjavainc.com/index.html>

Here's a loaded topic to discuss: I have a new simple CRUD app that I need to create. Being an old RPG programmer, I have a bevy of "Work with" green-screen programs at my disposal that I can copy and modify.

But, I want a modern interface. So, which direction would you go? .NET, CGI, Excel spreadsheet, etc., etc.? Why?

Note: the file resides on the i, and will stay there.

Thanks
