Wishlist: editing data in table view

Post by Rockfish »

Hi,

Will it be possible to make the data editable in the Table view. I found it will be much easier to edit lots of dives this way. It will be especially useful if you import all you old dives for the first time. I eventually did my editing in MS access, but it would be nice to do it in the software.

Hi Wilhelm

Yes, a table editing would be great, but it is not easy to make such a function. During the display and saving back to the database, several conversions and checks must be done to make sure the entered data is valid. For experienced users it is the easiest way to do this in Access.

But maybe I can add as a first step a basic table editing function like in Access where no conversion / validation is done. This would be no problem.

Since Diving Log already exports to Excel, all you would need to do is read the Excel file for updates.
