Work Update - Web forms

Hi,

Now that things have quietened down during August, I've been left with a web project while my co-workers have hotfooted it out of the office to take advantage of the warmer weather.

The web project involves a set of forms, each of which send the user's input to a database before moving onto the next form. In subsequent forms the user is asked to choose some of the input from the previous forms and extend upon it or remove it from a summary that is compiled at the end.

So, I now have the task of designing the database structure before writing the code to save the input in the database and (this is the difficult bit) offering previous input in subsequent forms.

Believe it or not, this is an excellent task, one that stretches the web developer to use all of his or her knowledge. It's really chased the boredom away form the long summer days stuck in the office!

I'll let you know how I get on.

Ian
