    Hi Brendan.
    I will continue my comparison about mobile databases soon on http://iNotes4You.com.

    (1) Assessing Bento (FileMaker) I saw a feature which should be implemented in Tap Forms too. It’s the extension of calculated fields to String operations like adding strings, adding constant strings to fields, taking the left, right or mid part. At the time I use Microsoft Access to generate desired fields, Export the data in CSV Format and reimport them into Tap Forms. That’s a pretty boring task.

    So my question is: Are string operations in your timeline?

    (2) When using the integrated browser URLs cannot be carried into fields.
    It’s indispensable when using a form for collecting information found in the internet.

    Thanks in advance.

    I would like to have the feature to be able to combine strings into calculations. I am using a math parsing library right now which does not support strings. But I’m sure I can do something to modify that. It would be great to have that.

    I’m not sure what you mean by URLs cannot be carried into fields.

    Thanks!
