So let me get this straight ..... you are standing in a FIELD, in Cootersville Alabama .... you don't have cell phone coverage .... but you have run a power lead from the house to the field, so you could sit at a desk with your desktop & monitor?!?
You probably are right, I don't understand, 'cause I'd probably whip out my old WAP enabled phone (yeah, I know I don't have a cell tower, but I probably still have it on me for when I'm travelling to town) which has the order page loaded up with the products and boxes where I can put my quantities in .... then when I'm on the highway (or back inside out of the sun .... or maybe Snow with the winter you guys have had) I can just hit the submit button. Problem Solved. Now, if you seriously want a solution, telling the whole story helps to get a whole solution. If you are in a field (on a tractor?) with no cell coverage (always satellite!) .... what device ARE you using ????? What OS? (The beauty of web based is that the previous 2 questions are irrelevant!) .... alternatively, start pick'n!!
