Thanks Christian. I'll look into this. My fallback plan is to write a logicsheet in XSLT/ESQL to do the same as the DB actions but at a higher level. What I'm trying to end up with is an XForm-like way of writing (simple model) forms but without having to write any java. For many simple applications, this is all lots of people would need (I think).
