And due diligence constrains me to point out that a user's eyes,
moving left to right (in most countries) while quickly entering data
across a wide grid will have a good chance of tracking incorrectly
down to the next row, with potentially disastrous results.
Requiring the user to fill out a collection of individual, spaced,
and labeled controls that can only be tied to one record prevents
this common error, among others such as not remembering which column
refers to which date (along with being a lot easier to validate).
One size does not fit all.
The reason I want what I want is to make adjusting data much
easier. The app is client billing. There are various dependencies
that need to be manually verified. Any errors detected have to be
corrected. This is much easier when one can see many rows at
once. There is a reason that browses are so useful; I simply want
something with better data validation.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
