Table data to a form in FP - Help

[Steve Finlayson]

I am trying to learn how to show data from tables in a form on a web page. If I
use an ASP from a database it seems to always be in a table. Can anyone point me
to some directions or references or give suggestions on how to set up a form
that will show the rows or records of a table. There are too many fields to
effectively show just the table and hence I want to rearrange the data in form
presentation.

Thanks
Steve

What do you mean by a form vs. a table? Can you provide an example?

Generally if you just want to display the data, without the ability to update it, then you would use
tables. You normal only use a form, it you want to allow the data to be updated in the database.

The data I have is in about 25 or 30 fields. To show that as a table would go
way off the screen. I would like to rearrange the data so that it shows all of
one record on one screen. If I could take the table and cut it up and place it
in pieces on the page, that would work. I just want to not have the long table
that you would have to scroll across to see.

Mayby I am just not thinking open and can't see an obvious solution.

Thanks
Steve

I don't use the FP database component, but you should be able to re-arrange the table after FP has
generated it or you can select one record per output and have display vertically.

If not, then you need to learn to hand code, where you can display the data as you want.
