Eh? I never said java couldn't do the task!!! I was asking if *Jeff* had
considered using an applet!

Really? A secure, fast loading applet that has (at last post) maybe 12-15
tabs of data to enter? (Which I really don't like the sound of - I'm not
surprised that Jeff's management want to maximise the use they're getting
from their trained users, though perhaps with a better designed form in the
first place... there's *no* excuse for 12-15 tabs ;)
I repeat: Secure, fast loading, reliable, easy to use (?) - this you call
