Web Companion as an alternative to FM clients?

Featured Replies

I am building a simple solution for employees to log their hours spent on tasks. It seems a little much to have a full copy of FileMaker on each employee's machine for this purpose. I don't have much experience with instant web publishing... would you consider it a viable alternative for this type of application?

The employees should be able to create log entires and enter some basic information (date, total time, task category, task subcategory, project number, description).

I would also like them to be able to view a list of past entries (from a specified date range), with totals at the bottom.

Two other simple questions:

Are value lists supported by instant web publishing for popup menus?

What about conditional value lists?

You should be able to do most of what you require.

Give it a go. Just switch-on WebCompanion and Sharing for each database and see what happens smile.gif

All the best.
