Read and update a database

I would like to be able to have an input form that will update my database in the background, and on another page a form that will show the updated database

I'm not sure I understand the part: "input form that will update my database in the background". Can you explain more?

Read and update a database

An input form meaning some sort of page that you can input figures then press a button which then sends the information to the database,

on another page is a results section which shows the updated figures from the database

That's pretty simple.. just follow this tutorial: http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build.... The only difference, you will navigate to another page (instead of staying on the same page).

When you say boxes -- what component are you trying to use?

Read and update a database

Are you able to have one input -- as shown in the tutorial? Having two or more inputs would be the same. Define collection columns, generate services (POST for saving data) and then map services to page.
