David,
I did a program with branching logic a couple years ago - I ended up using a record for each question telling where to go next for each possible answer. It was nasty to set up, but worked beautifully. Feel free to email me and we can bounce some ideas around if you'd like. Or reply here and get EVERYONE posting ideas.

I'm hoping to share ideas on design, database design. There are commercial programs out there - but none that meet my needs. One -
