We're developing a web site for a small multimedia developer. They want
to be able to crunch the data from an file of orders similar to the one
below into a customer database, and at the same time to be able to print
out mailing labels. They would need to download each day's orders from a
secure server. All the orders would be listed sequentially in one long file
(and if it's like orders we get for Shrapnel, lots of blank orders would be
submitted by people with itchy trigger fingers). They would like to be able
to dump the data from a file of orders into a database, and at the same
time to print mailing labels. They're using PCs, which I know nothing about
and, I suppose, would need to use a database program such as Filemaker,
which I know even less about.
Can some kind, helpful soul out there tell me how the client would go about
doing this? The clients are very computer literate, and I'm sure could
figure it out if I could just tell them where to start. It would be nice it
they didn't have to manually copy each separate order into a file of its
own.
Also, the client wants the date of the order added automatically. How would
one go about doing that? Can it somehow be done with the HTML setup for the
form?
Thanks for your help!
Suz
