Thanks, but I've gotten numerous qualified respondents, even with such an apparently appalling initial request. I won't make the mistake of posting here again. Jason

So relax, you'll live longer. This isn't an anonymous board! Folks aren't uptight, just experienced with dealing with requests for thousands of dollars of worth of software development from people expecting to spend just a few hundred dollars. Custom software costs money. So the question is whether you have the budget for it or invalid expectations? The previous respondent noted the hotmail account as a possible indicant of a small budget. Another indicant of a small budget is use of the Zire 31, instead of (say) the Treo 680, because we don't have any knowledge of your volumes. If you intend to deploy several thousand units, then the use of cheap hardware doesn't indicate a small budget. If you are looking to spend a few hundred dollars, you'll need to find existing software to license, and that may well exist! If you have a five figure budget, you'll be able to easily create what you want. If somewhere between, you may still be able to get what you need. You don't need to tell us exactly how much you expect to spend, but some general indication would get better advice! Roger Stringer Marietta Systems, Inc.
