forms isnt a tough tool, just that the docs are really weak. I haven't seen [Quoted] a single good web forms book anywhere. release notes are 'vague' at best. people don't seem to be writing new books for forms and reports because the [Quoted] tool is slowly being deprecated and they cant make any money off the books. :(

[Quoted] so you gotta play with it. use the ODTUG forum. Its very good. Received on Wed May 28 2003 - 01:11:38 CEST
