Hi
Before I purchse this software i would like to know if the following is possible.
I want to be able to open a grid page that has my employees on it.
When i click on the employee to assign the daily jobs they need to perform, it must create a job sheet like below
SAMPLE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User Name: Mr Trump Hourly Rate: $ 37.80
User Depratment: Technical Available: YES
Contact Number: 000-0000-0000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Job ID | Description | Qty | Price | Total
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
132 Fix Carburetor 1 $ 10.10 $ 10.10 Delete Row
132 Fix Carburetor 1 $ 10.10 $ 10.10 Delete Row
132 Fix Carburetor 1 $ 10.10 $ 10.10 Delete Row
Add row
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand Total $ 30.30
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The top section should contain the employee or user detail
The job section should be filled in and saved uner a seperate grid which can be called up later, if i need to see what he had to do that day
Similar to an Invoice or Quote system, Infact an Invoice system would work perfectly as all i want to do is create Daily Work Sheets with a unique number for the work sheet, with charges attached to them, save them for viewing later and printing to pdf when needed
Please advise ASAP

CodeCharge isn't going to just magically create what you want with a
click of the mouse, you still have to design, develop, test and deploy.
It's a tool for programmers - beginners or otherwise. Ie: You still
have to custom program, albeit CCS will get you going at least 50% of
the way with no programming.
Enjoy.

i should have a the question ...
Is the obve functionality possible with Code Charge Studio ...
It does not help me saving 50% and spending 300% trying to understand where i need to change the system to get what i need to complete the function ... get it ?
In other words i dont want to waiste my time bying a product tht i have struggle with, other wise i could just as well code everything myself and not waste recourse,s Im not Rich ... yet lol
Dont get me wrong, If you say it can be done faster in CCS than Spending hours coding it I will purchase the product today, i do like CCS and I am fairly new to ASP etc.

CodeCharge will create the pages quickly to manage or display your data, you will need to do some custom programming to automatically fill in the jobsheet data but this should not be such a huge task. Why dont you download the trial and have a go, also see the demos.
Like most products there will be a learning curve; and with CodeCharge Studio I have had a BIG learning curve. At first I found it difficult, but as I begun to understand CCS and how it creates sites things got better. Also thanks to the forums here I found the answeres I needed.
Now I use it to develop all my web apps.
In my opinion CCS is a great development tool and I am happy with my purchase.

I will echo that I am generally happy with CodeCharge. However I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with the product.
When I wish to create a basic CRUD using a database I have already designed I am amazed at how quickly CodeCharge will create the complete system for me. But there are times when I struggle for hours or days trying to do something with CodeCharge that might only take me a couple of hours to hand-code. I attribute this to the rather terse documentation and the fact that I do not use CodeCharge on a daily basis so have never really spent enough time with it to know it in and out.
If your needs for CRUD are basic then use CodeCharge by all means. Or, if your project has a lot of tables you need to manage again CodeCharge will save you lots of time. But when you get into the customization be prepared for potentially considerably more work.
I would also add that my experience with CodeCharge support has been quite positive until recently when they took 7 days to reply to my request for help. Assuming that was just a fluke, their support will probably be something you'll need from time to time. So purchase support!
And we have a few experts in the forums; just not as many as I'd like to see!! :)

If your intention is to use ASP, then make sure you look at the product
closely (ie: try it out first). There are (me thinks) better
development environments for ASP/.Net that will cause you fewer headaches.
I think CCS's strengths are PHP and Java. I think CCS should focus
exclusively on these languages, and stop trying to be a 'one size fits
all' product.
I think.... :)

If you want to manipulate a master record and related detail records on the same page, then this is my experience of what is possible, what is easy and what is difficult:
To have a record as the master record and an editable grid for the related detail records is easy enough to set up, but it is very difficult to have one button to save the editable grid and master record in one go. I experimented putting the detail records in an editable grid in one tab and the master record in another and forcing the editable grid to be submitted upon navigating away from its tab, BUT there is a delay as the page refreshes and it isn't a good user experience.
I also experimented using the AJAX dbupdate, which does work but you have to do all your insert, update and delete coding and validation routines yourself and there is always the possibility that there is a discrepancy between the data in the underlying database and what is in the grid... Not ideal
The compromise I came up with is to have the master record in a record grid and a read-only version of the detail records in a grid/editable grid (so you can see the up-to-date content of detail records).
Then have a link to another page to edit the detail record or records. This ensures you can update and validate your detail form reliably.
This detail table edit page, then returns to the calling master/detail page upon submission.
CodeCharge is a great tool, particularly if you stick to a basic implementation.
Hope this helps...

Agree 100%. Plenty of other good tools for other languages.
