Data Entry Form and Data Form Activex Control Software for Windows

ASP/PHP Web Application Builder
$129 - City Business Logic Limited

Builds sophisticated, secure ASP/PHP Web Database Apps without programming, but unlike many wizards, it does not sacrifice flexibility for advanced users/programmers. With these applications you can add/search/edit/delete data in your web database. Data Entry forms have full vallidation, prevent alpha characters being entered in numeric fields, has a calendar for dates, and can lookup relational data in other tables. The security wizard lets you decide which user(s) have access to which tables/fields. For example, you may wish to allow anonymous users to search your product table, but you wouldn't want them to see the trade price, nor add/edit records. Customers may need to be allowed to update their own record, but not that of other customers. All these scenarios can be handled effortlessly. The search form allows multiple field searches, with full support for Equals, Contains, Begins With and Between type searches. The paged data grid allows ordering by a particular field. Using APWAB, novice users can create sophisticated web applications without any programming, whilst programmers have complete control over the templates and the finished code - it produces 100% pure ASP/PHP code - no server plugins are required. Using a companion product, it is possible to build a PHP web application using your existing Access database, that will run on a Linux/Unix server.

Similarly, you can define abbreviations that expand as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way". Finally, you can create your own applications and menu bars using standard controls like buttons, checkboxes, list-views, and tree-views.

Other features: remap keys; change soundcard settings (like volume or mute); use a joystick or keyboard as a mouse; launch programs/documents; make any window transparent, always-on-top, or alter its shape; retrieve and change the clipboard's contents; customize the tray menu's icon and menu items; run existing AutoIt v2 scripts; and convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on any computer.

Data Form ActiveX Control
$95 - Neodeck Software

The ndDataForm is an encapsulated interface control that allows any programmer with an ActiveX compliant development environment or document and with minimum knowledge of coding or database skills to create complete database applications in minutes, anywhere, anytime. Even if you are in the middle of a project, or are just starting, you don't need to make any changes to your actual applications to implement the ndDataForm control.

In a few simple steps, programmers can create data browsers, data entry forms, open record forms or delete record forms, without having to actually write any code at all and without having to draw or design the forms themselves.

The forms dynamically created for the programmers are fully data aware, containing sorting, searching and printing capabilities. These forms can also be completely customized. Just by setting a few properties you can have date controls, file browser buttons, option boxes or a combo box with data from another database, just to name a few.

The engine that creates the form is aware of the data types involved and will, for example, apply the proper formatting to fields of the currency data type. You can also create and assign tabs to controls to have all the information you need inside a professional looking form.

You can create the whole database interface of your applications without having to worry about any errors in your code or bugs that normally arise in database projects. The ndDataForm has been thoroughly tested and validated giving you the edge in terms of stability and performance.
