>I'm looking for a form design tool that I can merge raw text with a form overlay that I can incorporate into my application (Active X or OLE). The form tool must include memory variables and if statements. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance...Marvin

Marvin,

Caere (producer of Omnipage OCR) has a product used for defining input forms with fields (fillable from a database) and text. I'm not sure if they have an active x control and if it doas what you desire, but maybe it is worth a look.
