Vincent-- 

re: "Could I write a program with text fields for information that I could then automaticlaly import (export?) to indesign?" 

You bet! (One thing to note: VB.Net support isn't really there yet--you'll need to use VB6, or the free VB5 Control Creation Edition, or VBA, or VBScript.) 

re: "Ideally, I'd like to be able to send the program to others (via e-mail) and have them run the program, export a file that I could then import into indesign and print out the business cards." 

You could definitely do that. XML would be the way that I'd go. Would you like more pointers, or are you good to go?<g> 

Thanks, 

Ole
