We are using Notes Client.My application today shows a categorize view.
Each category has near 20 documents.
The user open for edit each document and updates 3 fields.
The operation is slow and unpractical.
I would like to be able to select the documents, create a grid (speadsheet like) with some non-editable colums and some editable ones.
The user will do the data enter in an spreadsheet fashion and close the speadsheet, updating all the documents at once. I tried OWC but the customer wants to avoid MS products and in addition it looks to slow. Does anyone knows of fast, neat and cheap solution for this?

Couldn’t you use in-view editing and have the event update multiple documents? At least use in-view editing to save opening and closing the documents. You can essentially make the view the grid.

Thanks for the responses.InViewEditing was tried but rejected. It is nice for minor changes. Spreadsheet type of entries where a simpel cursor mobement ends the input in one cell and opens next for editing is a lot faster than mouse-keyboard activity required for InViewEdit. Rgds.
