Tx for the input guys

Ajay I was focussing on the GUI as I need a prototype. The development will be performed overseas, Vietnam favourite at the moment although the beauty competition will be early next year.

The toolset is single user. Typically we generate scripts for 7 to 9 business processes so the whole thing only takes a couple of weeks. After that tests are distributed with driver processes onto any old servers or workstations on the network. For that reason the architecture may as well be as simple as possible. I'll get reader on architectures but if you have any further thoughts or if you or anyone could point me at a good book to take me to the next level of C++ development that would be appreciated.

Cheers
