        How would a computer be faster than you with a pen and paper? Seriously, blocking out the general interface using pen and paper is much quicker - you just need to work out what goes where and if you don't like the positioning, you can easily start again.

                Visual Studio. Seriously, it's fairly trivial to knock up the framework of your application in VS.NET - and then you'll have something to build on later.

                  Well, the three tools I use are: * Pen and paper (or whiteboard if I need to share in realtime) * Visio (for documentation) * Visual Studio (because the class diagram gives me what I need and it is easy to create stub code to start off with)

                    absolutely. VS is also quicker to make a a mockup than visio, and visio's fake app controls don't look exactly like the real thing either.

                    -- CleaKO The sad part about this instance is that none of the users ever said anything [about the problem]. Pete O`Hanlon Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know about users?
