I have an application setup which builds its menu from the database,
it also stores all the forms and reports in the database. It uses
Dream Companies "dream designer" to do this.

My first version of the application supported loading of forms from
DLL as well. This feature has been left out of the latest version
because...

1. I did not need it

and

2. To do this efficiently mean implementing runtime packages (so
that the DLLs can get access to the class information without having
to carry their own duplication of everything). The problem with
runtime packages is that they blow out the memory useage quite
dramatically. Since my main client operates with Terminal Server
(lots of users operating from the one machine) the memory issue was
important.

I have considered trying to make the next version so that it can be
built with or without runtime packages - but its not a high priority
at the moment.

I am considering trying to market this product, but there are some
licence issues to resolve. If you are interested contact me privately
and we can discuss it further. Otherwise take a look at:
