I'll answer this portion as I'm in the middle of doing something
similar to what you are asking about. I recently downloaded PowerForms
off of www.unna.org our global Newton Software Warehouse of most
software that's been collected free/share & commercial software. The
version on UNNA is the Mac version (I wish someone out there who might
have the PC version PLEASE send me a copy as I have a license now).
With either desktop version and the Newton itself you can create
various forms for data collection.
Here's the link:
http://www.unna.org/view.php?/applications/PowerForms
My personal example is that I'm doing a simple Library Cataloging with
Signature Collection for book when they are taken out of the library.
I of course have the hard copy manual though there is a read me in the
archived copy...
The desktop (Mac/PC) versions are suppose to be included so that if
you create the forms on them you can import them to the Newton. I
think there's an additional package to export them from the Newton
also...
By the way this version is 1.0 - I'm not sure if they ever came out
with a newer version or release though... I am trying to get a bar
code scanner so that I can enter the bar codes off of books into my
form that I've created and possibly see if there is a search option
also when tracking or when books are returned so as to pull up the
book and confirm that the book was returned on the form.
By the way - supposedly you can sort, index, have pop up selection and
other items...
Hope this helps!
