Beginner form building


Hi anyone: I have a paper form that I fill in at work manually(pen) regarding production details. I would like to know where do I start to create a form. What books are good to read. My form has complex calculations on it, calculations that I've been able to function in excel. I would like to be able to complete the form, email it, save it and reuse it day after day. Can someone please give some guidance. Thanks.

Re: beginner form building


Why can't you just make the form in Excel? The calculations are already there and Excel is famous for being used to make forms and other non-spreadsheet purposes.

I had the same idea about making character sheets for a game but realized using simple spreadsheets was easier. No additional programming required, especially "nasty" GUI design and other headaches.
