We created an Excel template and had our users download from the web site,
fill it in, and upload it back to the web server.

The Excel template saves as XML so that we didn't have to install Office on
the web server. See MSDN's 'Fitch & Mather' sample.

Subject:  [aspx_professional] 1000+ variables!!!


Hi!

Can anyone help me?

I am building a manufacturing forecast web tool that must display and allow
the input and update of monthly projections of 1000+ products for the year.

Potentially  this could result in building an HTML form that contains over
12000 input boxes with the associated variables!!!!

Obviously this is not very desirable. Even if we break down the parts into
relevant categories we still have a few hundred variables being submitted
to the server each time.

Has anybody  had this problem before and is there a way around it?

Probably we could do some javascripting to concatenate variables but I
don't know what kind of strees this will put on the client side browser.

Please help.

Nick
