I have a general question about a program I have yet to start.  A client
of our company has a stack of reports (pretyped) into which they simply
write in the details of meetings, etc.  The client wants all of these
forms on the computer, I'm thinking probably each one will open in an
MDI child window.

The question is:  how do I create these reports in a window and allow
the average user to type in the information needed without being able to
change the rest of the type on the page and then print the report?
Also, I would like to allow them to create new reports which will also
open in an MDI child window.  Am I dreaming, or is there a good way of
doing this?  This is basically 95% of the program if I could just figure
out an easy way to handle it.  Please offer any suggestions you can.

Thanks in advance,
Brian Richmond
