  • Not sure where this post belongs. Anyone know of software that can use a sql database to fill data in a webpage or user document? I've been looking for months.

    Most applications i've come across build their own DB with the user name and demographics and fill in webforms requesting this.

    My need is different. I want to be able to capture the webpage and fill in data from a designated record. For example, scheduling specifics for a client.

    THanks for any help,

    Sam

    I need more information are you looking for a form creator or screen scrapper? Scheduling is generally complex you may need event component. So please explain your needs.

  • I would guess more along the lines of a screen scraper. I have a medical application and the same data may be requested from numerous sources. Let's say it's a scheduling form for one of the radiology centers that now has a web page where we can enter patient demographics. Rather than have an employee re-type all the data we have already entered in our own db, I would like to fill their form from my DB.

    It would not be some unknown form or screen. It would be a screen that was used repeatedly, so I could tell it where to put the data.

    I would like to do the same thing with forms. As more and more data is requested from medical offices, every department has their own form with the data as they want to see it. It's basically an effort to decrease duplication of effort once the data has been collected.

  • Now I understand you better you need a scheduler component that you can use the data to create form view for all your offices. In a web application this is not complicated each office just go to their formview to see associated data either sub domain or separate sites sharing a central database. You have two options either use Windows SharePoint Services or use Dotnetnuke and just buy the needed components. If you have many offices it may take months to develop but when you have it running all you need is updates.

  • These are not connected offices. We schedule procedures and tests with radiology or other sites that have their own systems in no way related to ours.

    But I will check out SharePoint to see if that could be a starting place.

    Thank you

    That is the reason to use the web because if you can schedule with them then all you need is to link with there scheduling table with the relevant permissions. If implemented on the web it is just access to their data you need.

    If not implemented on the web then there will be need to be connected or related to their system.
