rcull....dude I love you and wanna have your baby!!



I have been needing this ability from the tablet to help me work w/o dragging a laptop with me. If you add forms and I can then export the data I enter I will be in your debt more then ya know.

If I could actually use connection to remote SQL db's...I would be willing to, well, got an annoying neighbor? Maybe we can make that stop.

seriously, I am not fluent in SQLite and it's limitations not if you can even build in the ability to connect to a real remote SQL DB over HTTP of course. Maybe in the future?

You really have the makings of a nice SQL Server front end & DB manager here but I am not sure how far these tools can take it...but the addition of forms alone is above and beyond yet just what I have been needing.

I did have a question. Is there any doco yet? Things like field value limites/ranges and that sort of stuff. I need pretty much something like varchar type fields but even just text will work because I can do any conversion on the import side over on the server.

One reason this is so important is text input into the webforms I have on the my servers is so freaking slow via MicroB that I can get MINUTES ahead typing on my BT keyboard. But when typing into apps on the tablet there is no significant, if any, lag time so I can touch type and get real work done.

I can say once the forms get going I WILL be using this for all manner of data entry. Everything from inventory records to site content for a non-profit I manage a site for...you name it...

sorry for gushing but for the first time I feel like the tablet is more than a novelty I read books on and do crossword puzzles on...thanks!!

BTW, the only reason I ever found your app was because of Reggie's Software forum section. And I wanna thank Reggie for that even if it never comes back...at least one of us out here liked it and used it first day.

Here is one for Reggie too:
