Hi there,

It has been very difficult for me to get started on this problem. I would be very grateful of any help or pointers.

I would like to create a dynamic table (in Dreamweaver) in which a drop down menu allows users to select which columns are displayed from a MySQL database. Certain columns would be displayed by default. It would be a simple case of checking or unchecking boxes on the drop down. The screen would then refresh and show the new information.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Well, Dreamweaver won't do anything like that on it's own, so you're going to have to write a lot of programming. Are you using a dynamic language like PHP or ASP? or are you trying to do this through JavaScript or AJAX?

I was hoping to use PHP but the more I look into it the more it seems a Java applet (which I know little about) is the answer. Just to clarify what I'm trying to do: This is a big project that would allow teachers in a school to be able to write reports, fill in tracking information, etc, about students. The biggest challenge is the admin side: Making it easy to change which tracking information is required, etc. I'd be interested to know if you think it might be possible to do something like that using PHP.
