Hi there-
first thanks to the developers for creating Dabo.  From the screencasts, 
it's very slick, and having only looked at a little code, it looks 
reasonably straight-forward.

Here's my situation: we have a lot of test results we need to be able to 
go through, and it's not the easiest to compare results with our current 
system.  Of course there's no time to spend on doing anything but look 
at the results... I'm hoping dabo may be able to accelerate us past this 
point.

I've used the appwizzard, and it's created a very nice app that lets me 
limit the result set and see it in a grid, and even edit it.

This is how I'd like to change it, but I have no idea where to start for 
item 4 and beyond:

1. Change the edit page to be a viewer only (think I can figure that out)
2. Reduce the number of columns in the results page (can do that)
3. split the results page in two via a sizer, and move the edit/view 
form onto this page (can probably nut that out)
* 4. Make clicks on rows in the data-grid update the view form with that 
row's contents (Erg- help please...)
* 5. I Need to add a new column to the grid.  This would be a 
'reschedule' checkbox.  It won't come from the database; it needs to be 
stored (preferably as part of the associated row) in the interpreter. 
(Help please- how to add/store this field, and how to make it a check 
box in the grid cell)
* 6. Add a new page with a new grid, just containing the rows with 
'reschedule' checked.  There will need to be some other drop down lists 
with some selectable parameters.
There needs to be a submit button- onHit, it will need to get all the 
data from the grid where reschedule=true, combine with the current value 
of the drop-down lists mentioned in 5, and then create new rows in the 
database; custom SQL will probably be the easiest... (Help please, where 
do I start on this point?!)

Any suggestions or other help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Julian
