It is doable with just a few DB Tables. its all in the table design , and the right SQL statements.
Seariously if someone can give me some Raw data files, or a sample of a raw data file I'll come up with a new set of tools. (or I'll find out how non-trivial it is)
and DUDE you can't be searious that you can't figure out 1 method of using a web app on a laptop with out a live net connection? (not that doing so would be ideal , i was more thinking of 1 data collection tool, 1 importer, and 1 web app)
Method #1 windows 2k advanced, install SQL 2k, run IIS, (windows xp pro won't work becuase you can't install a server instance of sql. course you could make the web app run on M$ Access, but i generally avoid that) run it all locally ...
Method #2 Design the data collection software to store offline, and to have an upload feature. and when that laptop gets to an internet connection it Then uploads the data...
Method #3 still have the results manually written down at the event, Input them into a computer when that person gets home.
Method #4 Write an email server and set it up on its own email address and have T&S send it emails Via cell phones
Method #5 (okay you got the point now i hope)
Nasa spent lots of man hours coming up with a pen that will work in 0 G. the soviets used pencils .... i commonly go for the pencil approach.
I'de fully understand if you don't trust the new guy with doing any official results, but a sample file to play with can't hurt (you can change out the real data if you want) or the Raw visual studio project files to your current app. (only briefly looked but that's either C# or VC++, and it looks more like C#) if so zip and send to
