Hi Chuck,

Could you explain the acronym AP?

I understand that there are lots of situations I have not met yet, so
this might explain my ignorance, but I don't see what you get from using
a client-side app over a browser for most databases uses; after all,
from the user's point of view, it's always tabbing from one field to the
next (providing the web form is correctly designed, of course)

Also, I would think most data in the form _should_ come from dropdowns
populated from the database, for obvious reasons of data integrity? It
certainly is the case in my apps.
