 Man, where/when have I heard that before!  The holy grail of software
development.

 This is mostly a tongue in cheek response.  I'm not doubting you per say,
but it's never that simple, especially across multiple platforms.

Gustav,

O well. To be sure, I have become a serious enthusiast. In the past few
days I built an app that runs on phone, tablet and traditional browser. It
consists of about 20 tables, most of which are lookups. It's customized in
all sorts of ways and I didn't write a single line of code. All I did was
fill in property sheets. Amazing product.

Arthur
