I have been looking at Enterprise forms and H2O but I am a bit unsure of what I really need.

The site I am envisaging will be have users entering data into a form the results of which I want them to see via a grid format ... pretty simple stuff I think.

I want to be able to add columns up with a total at the bottom and some graphing would be nice ....

The data will change depending  another inputs into the database that the users dont see ... so the results will change from day to day depending on the values input into the database.

I will be developing an seperate program to input this data into the database.

Any advice on which of these 2 products is the best for this would be greatly appreciated. If there are any others out there I would love a pointer at them too !

I bought both XMOD and Enterprise Form.  Both products worked.  Enterprise is more gear toward workflow.  XMOD is more for data collection, view, and reporting.

A Workflow at its simplest is the movement of documents and/or tasks through a work process. Specifically, a workflow is the operational aspect of a work procedure: that is, how tasks are structured, who performs them, what their relative order is, how they are synchronized, how information flows to support the tasks and how tasks are being tracked. The concept of a workflow is an integral part of document management software.

A simple example would be a registration workflow:

1 - a user is presented with an electrinic form (form state: "initialized");

2 - the user fills out the electronic form (form state: "populated"); 

 3- The user sends the form (form state: "submitted");

4 - A human agent acknowledges receipt of the form and validates its contents (form state: "validation");

5- A human agent approves the registration and sends out an acknowledgement to the user (form state: approved").

Hope this helps
