Hi I am replacing an Access db with an MySQL backend and perl/Tk frontend, but i dont have a good idea how to replace access list-forms. So basicaly i need a way to repeat a set of widgets 1 to infinite times (in theory), once for evry row of data + once for a new row. Is there an easy way to do this? My only idea so far is a loop wich adds a frame of widgets each cycle and binding array elements to these widgets, but it feels a bit awkward to me.
UPDATE The infinity here is pure theory, in reality it will max out at 10-15 rows. The program does time accounting and i need to enter a process number, a description and the time used and i wanted to use a BroseEntry and two Entry widgets. Access has a nice feature where you only design a form for one row of data and it gets automaticaly repeated for each row of data present plus one empty row to create a new row of data.
