</div>You might be surprised at how far you can go with this. Your situation<br>
reminds me of the Oscar McMaster project, which is an open-source<br>
medical system I am wrestling with. The target market is doctors,<br>
who are not so tech-savvy and most of whom do not do any development.<br>
But an ecosystem of service providers has sprung up around Oscar setup<br>
and deployment.<br>

Having said that, doctors are accustomed to paying through the nose to<br>
outfit their offices, and it sounds like your target market is not.<br>

</div>Java might also be an option here. Oscar McMaster is a Tomcat app (not<br>
that I endorse this... getting this thing to run has been hideous).</blockquote><div><br>That is not a java/tomcat problem, that is the projects problem. There are many ways to make this run "out of the box"<br>
