Number Selection Wheels & Log Sheet

How can I make wheels to choose dates such as Month, day and year? I am making an app where the user can choose a date of their entry, another set of wheels to choose numbers (laboratory values), and have all of the dates and lab values store on a spreadsheet log so it can be sent via email or printed out, and then cleared to start all over again.

Hi in PA. There are a few ways to do this. HTML is an 'easy' solution for gathering data and allows most non-programmers to quickly build forms that post to their websites. Simple select lists in HTML turn into the 'wheels' your talking about when selected. A more complicatd approach would be to create your own UIDatePicker class file and view and associated logic. Doable but not as easy. In either case you'll have some design and planning to do and you'll need a backend script to recieve and store the inputs.

Well, since I have no programming background whatsoever (unless you count the online C# course I took a few months ago), I'm not prepared to do this myself. I will research this more on the web and see if I can find a tutorial or two.
