cool tool. I'm using it to test out some ideas for diabetes bg
tracking and meal planning. so far so good.

how do I force a recalc when I've changed a module.

can I use a workpage to hod a bit of code/data and refer to it

the plan is to record bg levels and carb/calorie amounts on a per meal
basis. ideally charting bg levels per meal.

I would like to have one workpage per day, each new day filled with
the basic template. I'd also like to have work pages hold recipies
(items = quantities). last, be able to produce a report to an endo.

possible?? or still a pipe dream??

If the module is part of the notebook, Reinteract will notice when it
has been edited (and saved). Any worksheets that import that module
will be marked at needing another execution from the point where that
module was imported. There is no way (that I know of) to make the
worksheet calculate automatically. (Though, if you feel like hacking
the Reinteract source, you could probably change this pretty easily.)

You can't import from a worksheet. You can make a module (library) with
the data and import it to the worksheets where you use it. (If your
data takes time to load or configure, this is a good way to ensure you
only do it once, instead of once per notebook.)

It's certainly possible. And if it's just for yourself and you're
willing to live with a certain amount of ugliness, it may even be
usable. But I suspect a stand-alone app might be better for something
you intend for other (non-technical) people to use. Reinteract would
still be a good tool for prototyping the logic in this app.

Good luck,
Robert
