>O.K., I know I'm reaching here, but does anyone know if it's possible to call a digitized form/report file from within a program and therein fill out the form's/report's required information or blanks and then have it print? I've been surprised before with many useful comments. Thanks Rick
Not sure if this is what you have in mind, but since you work for the state is may be you have a lot of predesigned forms you want people to fill out on line or on an intranet and have the data end up in dbf form.
Take a look at Omniform 4.0 by Caere (the folks who make Omniview OCR) Costs about $150. Scan forms, then map their fields to dbf fields.
Worth a look anyway.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
