Quickly and Easily Add Image-based Forms Data Entry Screens to your Application

Data_EntryI is one of a suite of Electronic Forms components. One method and 8 properties is all that is required to add a complete Electronic Forms Image Data Entry capability.

Data_Entry provides a form image Data Entry screen for the Electronic Form as defined in the Definition (DFN) file. Once the data has been entered, it can be saved, edited, or deleted using the Data Structure that was set up by the Data_Constructor component. The Data_EntryI component handles all of the different data types (Barcode, Pictures or graphics, Sequential Numbers, Combo Boxes, Date, Currency, Text, Integers, Numbers, and more).

Properties

• DFN -- the path and filename of the DFN
• UserDatabase -- the path and filename of the users database
• UserRecordSet -- a recordset to be used with the Data Entry Screen, in most cases this is a subset of the records in the Form table. Use the QueryBuilder and QueryBuilderODBC components to provide a GUI for the end user to generate the recordset
