submitted this hack to the WebDB manager program. His
modification allows one the ability to modify several prices at one
time. With some slight modification one could also change any field
with this hack.
After your database is setup; changing prices is probably the most
common task used by managers. In the original version, one must search
for the record, click to indicate which record to modify, enter the new
field data, then submit changes. This is fine and works well. However,
what if one needs to modify the prices for an entire category or
database for that matter? Ronnie modified the database
manager program so managers could modify multiply prices with one click
of the button.
Most of the changes are in the database.setup file. Here is an
overview of what needs to be added and modified. First, we need a
"Modify Prices" button on the front page. This command will display the
generic search form, after search criteria is enterd, the user submits
the search and the Modify Price form is displayed. The user will make
price changes and submit the changes.
