Thanks all for the quick responses. Yes, though Dabo looks like an interesting tool, I am headed the route of a web-based form.
@Chad: I haven't checked out Turbogears but have been dabbling with django for a bit. Djanog's baked-in admin interface for data entry approaches what I'm trying to accomplish, but doesn't quite get me there. But I figured I needed to get back to basics. So just to clarify, is this indeed something that is properly accomplished using Ajax? (whether xml or json)? Meantime, I'll get started reading up on HTTP. It's one area I haven't really delved into yet. Thanks again!
