Welcome. Thanks for the tip on kumulos, looks very interesting. I Wonder how it compares to Applicasa, Parse and some other ones that offer similar.... There is no "connect to db" functionality built into BT or in a plug-in as is. If you want to connect to one, you'll have to start with making a custom plug-in screen with BT so you can populate that screen with your table data. Adding a populated table to an existing BT screen would be difficult as the BT screens are generated dynamically based the options you set for the screen in the Control Panel. It's Possible but difficult to add without breaking the screen code. You control the plug-in screen and what views display. The BT Quiz plug-in might help you a little - it's interactive to a degree. Build a simple quiz and take a look at it. The code to build it is full of great code nuggets that you could 're-purpose'. Anything is possible here with the code you download and some tweeking. Custom plug-ins are the key to making screens BT doesn't offer.

Hello, Thanks for the tip about Applicasa. I am looking into it now. Great find!! I will have to look into a custom view plug as I would like to have some more views. I know I will break things. But how do we learn if not to break the code.. lol I will test and see if I can use a custom html and load the data from there. Thanks again for all the help and tips. regards, cybermobile
