A data transaction processing system (figure 1) in which transaction data is entered from a transaction entry device (12) by the user in response to prompts in a template (figure 2) which is tailored to each us er application. The template (figure 2) and entered data are accumulated into data transactions which are immediately transmitted upon completion to one or more database servers (28) and their associated databases (30) for processing and storage. The data transactions are not locally stored for processing and no conventional operating system is necessary. No local processing needs to be provided, and the only local storage is a flash PROM (95) which stored the control firmware, a flash memory (96) which stores the data streams maki ng up the forms and menus, and a small RAM (97) which operates as an input/output transaction buffer for storing the data streams of the template (figure 2) and the user replies to the prompts during assembly of a data transaction.
