I really don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but if not I'm sure someone will let me know... 

I have a potential client that runs a sports camp type organization. He sells various camps and classes. He’d like to be able to go into a site backend and use a web form to setup a camp to be sold with various options. One of the options would be that the camp was either paid for in total (one payment), or with an option to make payments. He wants to be able to enter in how many payments, with dates etc.  
 
Then, there would need to be a form for a customer to ‘register’. This would generally be a parent. They’d put in their contact info, etc., etc., then they’d sign up their child or children for whatever camp or camps they’d like.
 
What I’m asking is, what module or modules would you recommend I use to be able to make all this possible? 
 
Thank you

I don't fully understand your use case, but did you consider to use UDT (aka formandlist in DNN5) for this job?

There are a few options - X-Mod, Dynamic Springs, form Master, Enterprise forms, a number of others.

I use Enterprise forms for all such tasks for these reasons: It has a robust customizable workflow engine which is extremely useful for many projects; it gives you the option of saving data in tables that EF creates based upon the form, rather than saving as XML fragments in a common table. Thus you can have a suite of forms and use database technology to join them for enterprise solutions. Finally, the many features of Enterprise forms are hard to match. you can review on longnhi.com.

That said, I used to use form Master and really like it; high marks for usability and regarding features it is worth a look-see.

I would go for DNM Rad 

http://www.dotnetmushroom.com/Modules/DNMRapidApplicationDeveloperRAD/tabid/2343/Default.aspx

Much more than a form tool, create your own tables and the make forms for them and attach your functionality all within dnn environment no coding neccesary. ANd because its tables you can reuse it as werll. Most otehrs including xmod save data in some sort fo xml form that is totally useless if you want to reuse

I used it for complete user administration simple signup forms adn have seen it used as blogging suystem, ticketing application and more.

The develoment team is quite supportive and have lot of ideas for future version

I have been using XMod on my site (http://www.hikersresource.com) to manage reviews of hiking equipment. It would recommend the module but the storage of data as XML is kind of a limitation. There is an option available to export your data to a csv file, but I guess that doesn't help if you need another module to access it. Version 5 allows you to access custom data sources but it sounds like you would have to develop that yourself or maybe purchase an add-on for it. There is a also a version called XMod Pro. It sounds like the custom data source functionality may be included out of the box.  That may be worth a look: http://www.dnndev.com/Products/XModPro.aspx . One benefit to XMod is that it is supprted by an active user base and there is a lot of info you can get from others in the XMod forums. The support from the developer is also excellent. I had a problem with installation and my support request was handled very quickly, even though I submitted it on a Sunday morning.
