Dear Civilme, Thanks for your advice. This sounds very feasible and I, not a developer, like the idea that anyone can generate some interest in new software projects. I will check out the SourceForge web page. I half to admit I am still a newbie and have not totally understood the open source philosophies but I am understanding slightly more now. As you mentioned it sounds like if the high level languages are used this tax software would be a possible accomplishment. Very interesting. Thanks. Sincerely, Marcia
