Is there an easy way to build a form that will
pull data from an Oracle Table and allow the user to Add, Edit, Delete records from the WebFOCUS form? I haven't used Maintain before, but I think that may be the way to go....
I'm pressed for time, so I'd like to get something working as quickly as possible.

Thank you

If you have Maintain, try Update Assist. Available from a right click on a master file. This will allow the Add Edit and Delete functions you require.

Hi, The question is: do you have a license for MAINTAIN.
If you do, as Alan said, Update Assist will definitely be great, especially if you're pressed for time.
But, if you don't have MAINTAIN, then the "flow" could be something like:
STEP 1
1) TABLE FILE to retrieve the data from the DB
2) Read the data into amper-variables
3) Display the data in "fields" on an HTML page (HTMLFORM), where the user could e.g. capture/change the data, and then press a button to call a WebFOCUS fex

STEP 2
From the above step, the FEX that you called would then have a bunch of amper-variables.
You would then map the amper-variables back to the fields in your DB, and either use MODIFY FILE or SQL to write the data back to your DB.

We often use the above type of mechanism where our customers don't have / won't buy MAINTAIN.
