Hello, as I said before I am setting up an internal database using mysql,php4.1.12 and the BadBlue webserver. I like phpmyedit. It makes it a lot easier then doing all the php coding by hand. The next problem I have is that table format of returne,filter,listed and view record. My users would halt right there becasue that is not what they are use to seeing on the paper forms that they use now. Is there anyway of haveing data entered,view,listed,added,or filtered in a one record at a time format WITH the option of going back to the startard table view. I tried phpmyedit-slide with the pme_sample1.zip that michal reffered me to but I could not get it to work and it seems nepto( the author) is not on the forum anylonger.

If you have ever filled out a form in your life you know what I want. Instead of the data in the data base being presentied int a horizontal fashion like this
First Name Last Name Apartment# City State Zip Code
__________ _________ __________ ____ _____ ________
It should be presented in the fashion you would find it on a paper form. Remember paper? That stuff made from tree pulp? Like this
First Name
Last Name
Apartment#
City
State
Zip Code
Previous Resident
Next Resident
See what I mean? The data should be displayed this way no matter if that person is viewing a subset,querying for a specific set of records, adding a record,changing the data in a record, or whatever. With the option of going back to the normal horizontal table format if needed. I as the admin like that table format. But I making the database for a group of computer illiterate people. I need to keep what they see on the screen as close to the way they are recording and modifying the information right now with paper and ink as possible.
