I am building an app for a local golf course (gratis) and I would like to incorporate a copy of their scorecard that can be filled out by the golfer as they are golfing and then saved to their app when they are done. Searching through the forum shows that its currently not possible using the excel plugin. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. BT 2.0 iOS Dave Title Comments Hello fine Buzztouchers!

The software can convert a spreadsheet so it can look iOS native and it works straight off your web server and it works off a web server and it allows input! I would defiantly recommend.

Spreadsheet converter looks like a great solution except that I use a MacBook. I dont have a windows box in the house and I really dont want to put windows on my Mac. I do appreciate your input though. Thank you. Dave Comments Thanks Ed. Spreadsheet converter looks like a great solution except that I use a MacBook.

Run a Windows XP machine with a 20GB virtual drive, works a charm if you would be willing to do it. Ed Comments You can run Virtualbox on your mac.

Calypso Kid Aspiring developer Posts: 780 Reg: Mar 09, 2012 Upstate New Yor... 18,200	01/06/13 11:33 AM (13 years ago) LA- No. It would be pure luck if I could tell you exactly what a web server is. (I'm being funny) I'm still quite new to all of this so I'm still running off of Buzztouch servers. (Probably will for awhile) Someday I'll figure out how to install and operate from my own server.

Calypso Kid Aspiring developer Posts: 780 Reg: Mar 09, 2012 Upstate New Yor... 18,200	01/06/13 12:03 PM (13 years ago) LA- No but thats pretty easy to just copy the actual scorecard from the course and make the score areas fillable. Before I put the work into that though, I'm doing the research to see exactly how I need to implement it into the app. Comments LA- No but thats pretty easy to just copy the actual scorecard from the course and make the score areas fillable.

Ed Goodall Fusion Technology Posts: 422 Reg: Oct 01, 2011 Wiltshire, UK 12,320	01/06/13 12:13 PM (13 years ago) Ok good luck! When you install XP etc, give it 1GB - 2GB ram and also run a windows update. I have to use it for exactly the same purpose. You will also need to go into the settings of the virtual machine, go into network and use a bridged adaptor. Ed Comments Ok good luck!
