Hi Patrick, I would love a quick demo... At this stage all I require is something that I can show / describe to my manager how the product works but, more importantly, how I will achieve this specific task using DBXL rather than getting our dot.net guys to build a web service for me. The key here is seeing exactly how to get a form to write to a ...

You will have to export your template as "source files" and manually edit hte manifest.xsf (using notepad) to change the friendly name. Make sure you don't change the ID since it uses that to ensure proper correspondence with previously submitted items.

Hi Chino, If you're using the browser, you will need to either buy or create a Web Service since there's no way to do SQL submits out-of-the-box. DBXL has been around for 7 years and is used by hundreds of organizations. It's simple and gives you a one Web service for all of your forms. That means it saves you a lot of money and time ...

I wouldn't use a Multi-Select List box for this. Just use a repeating table that looks like one. You can always concatenate the results into a single string later if you want using the eval-eval technique.
