- Hello. I am new to Foxpro but very well versed in dBASE IV. I woul
- like to write a data entry program to computerize a multi-page form.
- The form is broken down into 10 sections each of which would be
- about one screen full of information. Depending upon how the user
- answers (or fills in the form) they may need to fill in sections
- 1,3,5,6,and 9. In others words in almost every case the user will
- not need to fill in every section and I only want the user to see
- the sections that they need to fill in. I would also prefer to set
- it up such that the user can page up and down within in the form so
- that if they choose they could change their minds to a question in
- a previous section -- of course this would alter their path through
- the form.
-
- Should I make I large screen set including all the sections? Should
- Should I make I large screen set including all the sections? Should
-
- Should I use a Foundation READ and layer the READS on each section
- on top of each other. If so how do I handle scattering and gathering
- the information into the different databases.
-
- Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
