Posted 11/13/2007 at 3:09:31am | by Roman Loyola

To edit a record form, click on the hammer and wrench icon in the upper right of the center Records area. You can add fields from the Fields list by dragging and dropping. You can also adjust field sizes by dragging the box edge to the desired size. Click the image to see a larger picture.

 

You can also edit the form by using the buttons at the bottom of the Record area.

 

Bento has three views for looking at your forms. You can switch between views by clicking on one of the choices in the upper left of the center Records area.

 

The Table view. You can edit data while in this view. Click the image to see a larger picture.

Please compare Bento to iList Data by Lakewood Studios. Does Bento do SQL?

If you've got to ask if Bento does SQL, surely you have missed the point of the products. The majority of its target market won't know or care about SQL.

avatarBento Vs. Chronosnet Personal Organizer

Personal organizer vs bento, I'd really like to see the differences. from what I see, PO Looks more intuitive. But, that's ONLY from what I see here, and that's showing Bento doing a nice job of tying the address book and ical together. I'm going to buy one, or maybe both.
Thanks,
Pete
