The German Chars are not in the UTF-8 standard.

I went for plain and clear.  I am not graphic designer so it is what it 
is.  Maybe I will ask Patrick (pixelbyte) if he has any ideas about 
sexing it up. 

I hope you are not offended by my comment I just wanted to integrate the 
wizard with the application more.  I think the two should look the same 
or similar.

Lets stay with the XML idea then.  There is so much development that 
maybe a XML database project exists.  This may allow us to say there is 
the data index it and it does the rest and gives us an API for 
searching...??

XSL may also give us some easy built in features for displaying pictures 
and data on static exports.....

I will continue my Schema and then work on Parsing the xml data.  Then I 
will look at creating the XML data from the web form.  When this is done 
maybe we have found a cool xml data engine thing and can build the 
search feature.

All the best,

Doug
