Rich, We license our software from a company called Laserworks, who publish a legal disk for the state of Illinois. The user interface is very lawyer-friendly, and we like it a lot, but the guy who had it written didn't believe that phrase searches were necessary so they're an afterthought, and the user interface code was designed when they were looking at having only 2 or 3 databases on the disk, whereas we have a couple dozen, rising all the time, so a bunch of if..elses are now case statements, and the whole thing needs to be restructured. We're buying a ROMware license (Nimbus) and having a front end written, but I can't not notice that if this was a database situation we could do it ourselves, no problem and a lot less money. Frank
