<P><FONT SIZE=2>Go with DreamWeaver. Forget about DAPs, they were some marketing guy's</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>notion, not a developer's notion. "Hey, we could lock in the customer base</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>using this technology!"</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Are DAP's any good?If you're going with a public site, they're not a good</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>choice. You need IE to be fully interactive. If the client's not IE, the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>page may or may not work -- usually you can see the data, but the client</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>might not be able to interact with it. Of course, if that doesn't matter...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If it's an Intranet and you can control the environment, they're a nice</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>shortcut if you won't need to custom them. They don't use VBA, so they're</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hard to customize.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2> I am thinking of using DAP's for a web based input form. However, I see</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>very little mention of them here. Are they one of those "features" that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>sound good on paper but are more trouble to implement then they are worth? I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>will be implementing the form on our intranet. All relevant users have</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>office, albeit different versions. TIA for any experiences you wish to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>share.</FONT>
