Exactly, but I've said they need an application that lets the users do their job, and the app in turn connects a database to manage the data.

I'd suggest a simple, little webapp for your usecase that fills the data into the db, based on ownCloud. If further down the road somebody wants an Excel sheet create it based on a CSV data export - or better try to convince the one of better (read non-propietory) formats.

But I like this ownCloud application and if possible I wish to use it
in connection to MySQL on a web host with SSL connection.
Have you realised that ownCloud is also a platform which makes it really easy to write applications for specific usecases like this? If you do that, you get a lot from start on, for example all the user management, file management, ownCloud look&feel, SSL and such.

Have fun,

Hi Karl,

I am not sure I understand. Perhaps, you want something like a
"collaborative real-time editor"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_real-time_editor).
If yes, this has already been discussed in this mailing list. It looks
like
it's not practical without using technologies like node.js, which are
not in
the spirit of ownCloud.
Or did I miss something?

Hi Karl,


I have 4 different storerooms. And about 15 drivers with their own
truck.
Every driver have its own laptop with own cloud. When they take stuff
from the storage room they register it in a excel sheet. But the
problem is: Only the latest excel data is registered.

Say that driver 012 take a 2 pallet form storeroom 1 and bring it to
storeroom 3. But at the same time driver 003 take 1 pallet from
storeroom 3 and bring it to storeroom 4. THen only the latest
registred data is synchronized. As you understand. They all share the
same document.

That is an interesting problem, but I very much doubt that this is
still
in the scope of an excel document.

For me that sounds like you're at the point where you want to start
your
first ownCloud app - or find somebody who does it for you. This kind of
problem sounds too me as if it would need a little app.

Good luck,
Klaas



Is it possible to do as every open document can be synchronized
wherever it is opened? today the latest saved document overwrite the
older one and data is lost.

Thanks for your help to explain how I can fix this error if possible.

Karl
