Is this project to be on-line, off-line, both ? It sounds to me like you are implying you want to create structured Forms (using the word 'Forms' in the 'web-sense' of that word here, not referring to WinForms). Those structured Forms, if I am understanding you correctly, would have some very formal structure dictated by legal requirements. So the issue of validation per entry arises, as well as issues of sequence of entry: if certain fields are not filled out, should other fields even be visible, or enabled ? This can be done inside Mircrosoft Word, inside Adobe's and other companies PDF produce/edit/read programs. 3rd. party controls for .NET include Forms Managers, Wizard creators, etc. I would seek to achieve these goals within existing products ... unless ... some fat client wanted to pay me a lot of money for a custom solution that would be a major effort. best, Bill
Scipio: "That's true, Berganza; and what makes the miracle greater is, that we not only speak, but hold intelligent discourse, as though we had souls capable of reason; whereas we are so far from having it, that the difference between brutes and man consists in this, that man is a rational animal, and the brute is irrational." Cervantes, "Colloquy of Dogs," 1613CE. The two talking dogs, Scipio, Berganza, are hallucinations in the mind of a soldier with plague fever undergoing a "sweating" cure.
