Does anyone have any experience or recommendations regarding integrating a Form Builder with a traditional PowerBuilder client application running on Windows?  

Requirements (that I can think of now):

  • Users define a form with text, fields, checkboxes/radio-buttons, pictures, etc.
  • Ability to create and save a form instance from a Windows PB application
  • Ability to retrieve and display previously created form instances from within a PB application
  • Ideally an ability to search for form instances, and perhaps even run queries

As of now, we support OLE documents such as Excel spreadsheets, stored as BLOBs in a database.  However this is cumbersome, especially on mobile devices.

Hi Dan;

  FWIW: A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ... a consulting friend of mine built this feature for a  Customer using the Dynamic Data Window feature of PB. That worked extremely well.  Food for thought.

Regards ... Chris

Thanks, Chris. That is an interesting idea, and I will consider it. It would be labor intensive. I'm hoping to also hear about integrating something new and modern.
