Sorry, my bad - thought you meant something similar to the MeV webstart application in BASE 2.2. Still, would it not need to do authentication, data import, etc in a more extensive fashion than a plug-in (feel free to correct me on this)? Also, any and all of the computational load of the app would be on the web server, rather than on the client (webstart) or potential job servers (plug-in). If, on the other hand, computational time is negligible, there is no need to export data back to BASE and/or adjustments are to be made interactively, a webapp will do nicely. Just some thoughts. Regardless, I'm quite convinced a report/visualisation tool of this kind implemented in a general fashion would find many uses in the BASE community. We'll take a closer look at it to give you some creative feedback. best, /Emil ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
