Hi,

I'm looking at creating forms to update a database table using RedDot
CMS, and I've fallen at the first hurdle.

In my first form, I happen to want to write the values "1", "2" and
"3" to the database but display the labels "Not important", "Quite
important" and "Very important" respectively.

The textbook approach is to reference a Standard Text Field (which has
a red dot) to a Database Content placeholder (which is bound to a
database column). I would like to reference an Option List placeholder
to the Database Content placeholder but RedDot does not allow me to do
this (Selected element(s) in clipboard are not valid for this action).

So is this do-able? Using ASP? Using ASP+RQL? (No doubt on other
occasions I'll want to have checkboxes, radio buttons, etc etc.
Clearly input validation will be non-trivial too)

Really my question is bigger - can I create robust and usable database
editing forms in RedDot, or am I better off moving it out of RedDot
and into a tried-and-tested web development technology?

thanks,

Jonathan
