One of the major shortcomings of the Flex "Accounts.nsf" database I've been talking about is recently that, while you can easily add documents, you can't edit them. Well, now you can.

Open the demo and double-click an incoming/outgoing in the view on the first tab. Below the view another form should appear, which lets you update the selected row (move your selection in the view and the field values change to match). You can then either press the "update" button to save the data to the Domino server and update the selected row in the view or press "cancel" to hide the form. There's also the option to leave the form open after the server has saved the document so that you can edit other rows without needing to double-click again.

By adding this functionality I'm hoping that soon the demo will be at a point where I can make it available for download (with Flex source code!) and it will act as a working demo of using Flex with Domino. This was always my intention, but, since starting out my intended direction for the app itself has changed (more on that in my next blog). Basically, I'm going to drop Domino as the backend.

There are just a few other bits I need to before I make it freely available. Not least of which is going through the code and tidying it up. I've been learning as I go with this app and it shows in the code (hence no source as yet - it's just embarrassingly amateurish). Hopefully I'll have the source with you before the week is out.
