Pedro, might make a couple of suggestions.  Most of your questions seem to
be of a nature of getting started with specific segments or products within
Zope.   When I began my quest for the Zen of Zope, I went down the
following path.

     1)   Try to read the product docs (realizing that not all contributed
products have it)
     2)   Search through the How-Tos to see of there are examples (of which
there are MANY)
     3)   Going to the E-Mail Archives to make sure that I was not having
trouble with something that
          had been covered 45 times before in the list.
     4)   Used what (in many cases was very little) information that I had
found to struggle through my
          problem at hand.  The best way to learn something for good is to
have to struggle through it.
     5)   Only after I felt that I had exhausted all my options would I ask
a question.   And when I
          asked a question I made sure that it was specific and to the
point.   For example instead of
          asking 'How do I change a tire?" (Which I would have had to ask
prior to step 1 above)
          I would be informed of the situation and be able to ask, "How
much torque should I use when
          tightening the nuts in a replaced tire?"
     6)   And finally, when I have it all figured out, if it is something
that I think would be of value to
          the group that had assisted me, I would try to toss my knowledge
back into the
          community so that the next person who searched the mail list
archive would be able to
          move along the path of Zope enlightenment as I have.

     And finally through all of this realize that no one is getting paid to
live on this mail list.   Any responses
are from the goodness of peoples hearts.   We are more than willing to help
each other when someone is stuck
on an issues that someone else has solved;  but no one is creating my site
for me and I don't expect anyone else
be building my site.

So with that in mind.....

>Is there anyone that could tell me how to work with the Tiny Tables.?

This is like asking, how do you create a database?  We need specific issues
to address.

>I need this because I have a form and I will use the Tiny Tables to save
the
>information that I will send  throught the form.

>This is urgent, can anyone tell me how this Tiny works!!!!??

Search the archive for Tiny Tables.   There are TONs of hits, many with
examples to get you started.

>thanks, send your answers to: psilva@ruido-visual.pt

To be blunt, this is rude.   If you are going to ask a public question,
expect a public answer.   If you are
too busy to keep up with the list, then you can also expect the list
contributors to be way to busy to
reply to your message.


Pedro, sorry if this was somewhat terse, but you have posted several
messages with this tone and scope.   Since you
were not seeming to pick up how the list works.

For everyone else, sorry if you listened to my soapbox.   It was my first
on this list and hopefully my last <wink>.
