The second question I would ask is: What standards are you going to follow/ignore.
The geneology field has been using computers for a lot of years, now. There is a lot of "prior art". As for reporting, I would agree with Carl. A Requirements Document is your very first step (what do you want the program to DO?) (For example, does your application need to allow add/editing/deleteing of data, or does the data already exist, and you just need to display it?) Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/16/02 03:08PM >>> Carol, Well first off I would start on what exactly the application is going to do. Create a wireframe of the application and determine what functionality will be involved. There is several things one would have to consider in the making of a Geneology application. IE: sir names, maiden names, country of origin, dob etc etc etc. The database portion should be the last thing on your mind though. Once you have the wireframing done, I think it will be quite easy for you. "Success is a journey, not a destination!!"
