Online form users can alter

Question

Hello,
Not sure if this is the best place to ask but since I use
Dreamweaver I thought I'd ask here first. I run a website and I am
trying to place a webform (similar to a spreadsheet) that visitors
can alter. In ordrer to alter the spreadsheet they would have to
first enter a password. Basically, it will be an inventory sheet
that different sections around a reigon can change what they have
in their inventory under their appropriate section/row/column.

Again, I hope to not have to have them download a Excel
document and then alter it and then upload it. I would like the
forum embeded into the webpage and allow specific users to alter
the form. Anyone who visits the page can see it, just not
manipulate it.

Does this make sense? I am not sure what I should be looking
for even to search Extension Database.

Thanks!

I am not sure what I should belooking for even to > search Extension Database. The log in and update of data in a table is something that isbuilt into Dreamweaver. You will need to have a database (such asMySQL, or SQL Server, Access, whatever ) to store the data in aswell as a web server that can handle a server language, like PHP orColdFusion that can interact with the database. IN Dreamweaver, PHPand MySQL are paired together by default, but in the other serverlanguages, you can work with other databases.Assuming you're using CS4, go here:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/Be sure to read (and reread) through the "Making pagesdynamic", "Building applications visually" and "Building forms"sections. For there, you should ask follow up questions about thedynamic support within Dreamweaver in the Application Developmentforum:http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid=12&catid=263&entercat=yIf, after reading those help sections and asking in the AppDev forum, there is something that you'd like to do that isn'tbuilt in, then please do ask here for specific functionality thatyou'd need.Beyond that, please feel free to checkout WebAssist'sproducts (the company I work for) for Dreamweaver:http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productresults.asp-- Danilo Celic| http://blog.extensioneering.com/| WebAssist Extensioneer| Adobe Community Expert
