Just for interest sake, it is quite possible not too far down the road that
our company will be going through webERP to do the multilanguage in the most
unobtrusive way possible as we have been discussing in the forum.  We don't
need to do it immediately, as there are other priorities and we can get by
for now with what is but quite possible we will need to do soon for our
co-conspirators in Denmark.

If I may comment on the need for alternate interfaces I believe there are
many reasons.  You may want to change the interface to be better for certain
devices such as the wireless group.  Possibly for handicapped, especially
blind.  Multilanguage we've discussed.  Maybe just because people want to
customize the interface for the particular work they do.  Sometimes a
company may want ONLY certain options appearing for the shipper or for the
accounts receivable clerk.  Yes, security restricts then but options plus
on-the-fly context based interface changing can be more effective is several
situations.

Having said this, it is still most important to be able to rely on the
system and be able for as many people to easily code within it without
mistakes and confusion.  Congratulations to Phil and the group here for
achieving and retaining that primary goal.  While I believe in 3 tier
(database, business rules and front end) where it makes good sense, there
are times when maybe it is good theory or a compromise between both
approaches is the best alternative.  Sometimes I have found also that 3
tiered using higher technology inherently ends up slowing the code down and
overcomplicates the contextual reading/understanding of it.
