The Form Letter Machine / Re: Request for var file-list precedence behavior for variable overloading

« on: October 22, 2009, 01:21 PM »

Hi all...

I posted this bit in another section of the forum... thought I might repeat it here... as the previous post seems to ask something similar but seems more complex. Would the suggestion below not be simpler?

---
I have absolutely no programming skills!

Recently been using sqlite DB for data storage. So thought about this idea if already not done...

What about using sqlite DB that can be filled in by the user and the fields pasted directly into the text area.

Then by filling in the prmary index value the forme will lookup the rest in the DB.

Advantage is that the same date can be re-used, over and over again in as many ways as you want, and if something changes in that record then only have to change it in the DB once...

Hope I'm not saying something that the software is already doing...
