- We are just getting our feet wet with Wingz in order to access an
- On-Line database. One of our objectives was to be able to embed SQL
- queries into a range of cells in order to create standard applications
- for information retrieval, where a re-calc of the spreadsheet would
- fetch new numbers and totals from the on-line database. We would want
- to use the values contained in one or more cells as variables for the
- query. So far in my limited reading of the manuals, I have not been
- able to figure out how to accomplish this without writing Hyperscript
- code. Once we put together several "applications" together using such
- a technique, we would want to idiot proof it by driving it with
- Hyperscript, but we are not there yet. At this point, we are simply
- trying to sell the concept of Wingz to project management, so we just
- want to create something simple, yet powerful examples to prove this
- capability. Any suggestions or examples are appreciated. I would also
- like to hear some recommendations on Hyperscript training.
