Andrew, Can OIO handle "sub-forms" such as a variable number of family members (with firstname, lastname, date of birth, sex, etc.) in a form with base data about a patient? (The kind of thing that you would handle in related tables in an RDBMS)? Also, do you know FormSIX (http://www.geocities.com/tlhome2000/form6/index.html)? Apart that it is not open source (only freeware), how does OIO's front-end part compare to it? thanks --bud At 04:37 PM 12-04-01 -0700, Andrew po-jung Ho wrote: >On Fri, 13 Apr 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Andrew, > > > > however, I did think of a useful (as far as I am concerned) > > application of OIO in this context: Using it to _generate_ > > the XML templates for the forms that I need.
