Re: [GD-General] Game data editor

[Jon W. <hp...@mi...>]

You are talking about building GUI tools for the data editing, right?

I would suggest using a database tool of some sort (such as Access) if 
you need fancy forms. What we do is get away with Excel -- you can 
script and macro it to do all kinds of neat things (pop-ups, etc), and 
exporting to CSV is very simple in the end.

There is also Microsoft InfoPath for workflow data capture and 
management, but I think that's overkill for this requirement.

Cheers,
