i can't proclaim to be fully aware of the needs of your app, but to avoid lengthy and intricate code, you may well be able to do most of what you want through HOTLINKING.
look it up in the help file if you haven't used it before. basically, you could hotlink each individual thing to an external file which opens up when you click it to hold the data. hell, you could even use a text file to store the data if it's only simplistic. dunno if that helps. ash -----Original Message----- From: Belinda Scot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 23 July 2003 9:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Mapbasic Code for a Data Entry Interface - HELP!!! Hi guys, I need some expert help or advice. It is possible to derive a mbx or program to work out the following: "My client owns a large storage space that can be divided into 500 different containers of different sizes that is available for rent as storage areas for individual, supplier, wholesale people who need temporary space to store their items. We have created the map for the storage areas. These containers have being assigned with an unique ID number. Our questions are: Is it possible to write an application to allow us to track/update the container spot on every time when there is movement (on a monthly basis)? For instance Container 1 (Size XXX) has being exported after one month. A new supplier brought in a new container (Size AAA) and it will be entered onto Container 1 spot. And so on... I supposed we are looking for data entry interface that will allow us to enter all the new details for the container that have just occupied spot 1. This information is ITEM_DESCRIPTION, ITEM_CODE, ITEM_RENTAL_PRICE, RENTER_NAME, etc... This is so that when we click on the map, it will provide us with an up-to-date information. This way is more efficient that having to upload an excel file each time there are new changes. Thankx!
