I agree, I think that I'm going to build a template doc and populate it to see what we are up against. We haven't seen the app yet but we have 15 weeks to convert about 600 prgs. No telling how many forms. I've seen a couple that are pretty complex (40+ fields) but no telling what the others are like. We are going to have to use the visual design tools to make it legible. Just trying to find a short cut.
