Neither...assume the database is created, and I want a quick way to put up a form to edit a particular table. Right now, I have some scripts where I can define in a configuration file -the table I want to edit -a list of fields that should be shown in the list view -the fields that should be edited in the form view, and what type of field each is (which determines what type of form control to use, and simple validation) -labels that should be used for the fields above So then it provides and easy and quick interface to manage a table. This is usually used in the admin section of my homegrown CMS to manage tables which don't need much in the way of a pretty interface, but just need a quick and dirty way to edit data. I was planning on modifying this to include things like: -more complicated validation -sorting and filtering of the list view -paging through "n" records in the list view But I wanted to find out if anyone knew of anything similar out there, as I don't want to reinvent the wheel. -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242108 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
