    Re: Help with simple restricted search


      Well, this sounds very simple to realize with baseportal. Did you tried the Easy Start?

      http://baseportal.com/estart/index.html

      There you learn how to create the fields for your database. Its easy.

      In your case you need a fields like "Order Number" (Type: Number. Maybe of Type text. Must be sorted), "Address" (Type: text or textarea), "Expected Delivery" (Type: Date) ...etc.

      When you want to show the information to your customers you need a page like this:

      <loop db=databasename>
      $_loop{"Order Number"}<br>
      $Address<br>
      $_loop{"Expected Delivery"}<p>
      </loop>

      This may look a bit confusing, but its not too hard. You can use any HTML there, what you like to format you output.

      Then call the page with a link like:

      ...baseportal.com/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/yourname/yourpage&Order+Number==12345

      And the record with the Order Number 12345 will show up.

    Help with simple restricted search


      I feel a little bit embarrased asking this as I learnt my trade in database programming although that was a few years ago (c/dbase III era) now Im after a quick fix solution and then I promise to learn everything I need to for future applications.

      I have a database on here that my staff use which works wonders for tracking customer orders, but I want to allow my customers to be able to access this databse to show specific information of the databse through a very simple screen.

      I want them to be able to enter a order number and for it to return a screen showing a few fields which they can only read, example order number, delivery address, expected delivery date etc.

      But how do I go about this if someone has a sample script that they can show me allowing me to jsut amend database names and fields to get something simple running then I would be very very grateful.

      Any help would be appreciated.
