If you're going for a more enterprise-wide system then web-based may be reasonable, but for personal use I really don't see the average user being able to install, conifigure, _AND SECURE_ a web server in order to run a "personal finance manager". Having said that (see, I'm trying not to be insulting ;) you could write another interface around the gnucash API. You'd in effect need to re-implement all the UI pieces of gnucash, but you could do it. I don't know how hard it would be, nor how much time it would take, or even what the integration would look like. But anything is possible, it's just a SMoP (Simple Matter of Programming). :) -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
