Michael, Your not crazy. There are company's that have built applications (for purchase) on this idea. However, I would caution you a bit...
I think you will have to do a lot of work to make the "simple" things of ARS work in such a model. Just think about what it takes to do each/all of the following: To do a Create.. To do a Search... To do a Modify All... To loop over a list... (Results list/modify Mode window) Reporting... I am not saying that it can not be done. But after you have a good working model for each of those things... then multiply the effort for every form that you want to use this model with. So... let me try to ask your question in the inverse.... What is it that you can not "control" about the UI with the existing model that would be easier with Display Only form front ends(er.. User Interfaces)? -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two.
