I checked out XPlanner, but wasn't ready to mount that jree / tomcat learning curve. But XPlanner had a links page with some additional hints. I installed XPWeb instead. It seems to all be javascript driven, but has proven useful on this small project we're working on. I'm still figuring out how to use it, but it certainly looks promising. I installed one perl driven tool for this purpose. (I don't remember its name). But it didn't look like something I would want to put before a client. In fact, one of my partners is advocating that we not involve our clients in dealing with this application, but only with the reports we pull off its database backend. I'm still willing to explore other possibilities, but am pleased with what I've seen so far. Thanks folks for the leads. -- Hugh
