Hi R.,
I have posted a question about forms and haven't received an answer
yet. I am having trouble with creating new records or editing them.
It indicates the file is not writable. Although I toggle the read only
mode and made sure I am the owner of the file it still does not allow
me to write to it. I try to insert a record and it tells me the file
cannot be changed because it is read only.
If you get any responses from your post please let me know.
I believe there is a way to convert the field delimiters to something
that isn't used like ^K. It sounds like you will also have to allow
multiple line fields in your control definitions.
I don't know all the details but it sounds doable.
HTH,
Robert Pollard

Dear Sirs!
I have a table exported from a database (I think MySQL) and want to
edit
it with emacs forms-mode. Although this should be a very usual thing, I
dont think I can do it without some (more or less trivial) elisp
programming. I wanted to ask you here if you know a more direct way
before I begin writing programms.
The rows (records) of the tables are separated as DOS separate lines
(with ^M^J), the collumns (fields) are separated with commas and their
contents are quoted with the double-quote-symbol (") at the beginning
and the end. The problem I see: some fields contain commas, line-feeds
(^J) and even double-quotes-symbols (not followed by comma).
I would thank you any hint,
