I was going to suggest PureEdge from Victoria my hometown, they do this for US Army and Insurance Companies essentially you create a scanned form into a type of Wssiggy Editor, and it reproduces exactly the form on the screen This is important for old forms. It then creates XML files from the form. Really handy for sites with a multude of paper forms. You could then move the XML into Access or SQL databases or even directly into database. Went to look for it at www.pureedge.com and Gack I got redirected to http://www-142.ibm.com/software/workplace/products/product5.nsf/wdocs/formshome I guess IBM bought them out a few months back and added it to their Workplace Suite. They are getting as bad as Oracle. John Colby wrote: >I need a quick and dirty form to enter data into a whole set of related data >tables.
