"Why would you display a form in the CMS anyway?"

Essentially the webpage is the offspring of a spreadsheet that they
used the save as HTML aspect to feed the info into a magic perl script
that concatenated a header/footer to it and posted to a static site (a
daily report that couldn't be automated from a system).  With our CMS
implementation, we went with LiveServer, although the only aspect
we're using is Verity (and not well).

The spreadsheet has a number of calculations based on what a user
enters (i.e. value1 + MinimiumValueOf(Value2, Value3, Value4)).  About
25 values in all.

Tried to limit the change and give them an 'excel' like entry grid ...
then take those values and calculate the report values ... then try to
speed up entry by using Direct Edit but I guess just learning best
practises ...

Now it's just an 'Edit via Form' and all is good.

Live and learn.
