Well, over the past 60 days I have been having a lot of fun and have been learning alot from this forum!!!! You folx are awesome! I new nothing when I started this project. Now, I could really use some guidance.
What I currently have are 2 databases setup in a relational configuration. One is User.db the other is Status.db. They both use status.pass for authorization.
The User.db autofills the add_record form when a new status is entered and it emails me and the submitter the results in a formatted email.
So, I have installed the record mail, relational, autofill and write to text file mods.
Now, to the real stuff! (thanx for the opportunity to toot my own horn! )
I want to be able to have my boss query the status.db with a date range (I am working on this now) and when the results are displayed, there will be a check box next to each record, similar to the delete_records process. He should then be able to select the records he wants via the checkboxes, then click a button that would write those records to a text file in a formatted fashion.
I have looked at the validate mod, but am not sure that it is what I am looking for.
Can anyone point me in a direction to look in or provide me some guidance on how to accomplish this? Let me know if I need to post some code or something? I am soooooo close to having what I want and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
John
PS I have searched this forum alot and the Unofficial FAQ until my eyes hurt
