Hello, I am very new to the Alpha Five V9 and hope that one of you would be able to help me with a few questions.
Our company is building a database of certain inventory items. Each item will have a determined Product ID number, sku, description, location, and notes. The sku and location are drop down menus pointing to each a separate database. Our main focus is to upload bits of inventory into this database, it does not need to keep track of quantity, as with most will be uploaded individually. Our current (and most important) goal at the time is to be able to open a form, and change the location of a particular item.
After we are satisfied with the database, we would like to upload it to either the web or our network (via web browser).
Questions:
1. How complicated will it be to convert this database and forms to an online application? Am I going about this wrong for it to become an online application?
2. I have recently searched this message board looking for solutions to applying a "search line (or drop down menu) and button" to search the specific database for that record, and show it. I found this article below, but am confused because I have not found a "script editor" within the program yet. How can I access the script editor to work on custom buttons and such?

I realize that my questions are probably very novice. Any information or direction to tutorials would be greatly appreciated.
