I might have some ideas but am a bit in the fog on the details of what
you're wanting to do. How close is this?... you accumulate a number of AcadE
project designs, each with its own drawing set and long list of wire from/to
connection data (output from AcadE in ascii report, or XLS, or sitting in
the WFRM2ALL table of the project's scratch database). For a new aircraft
design, you want to save time and suck in wire assignment / from-to info
from other designs that closely match what you're doing on the current
design. So you want to be able to query the existing projects and find
from/to combinations that match up with what you're currently working on
and, if found, somehow pull this in to the current design. Is this what
you're thinking about doing?

I'm looking to get something to add to my wire numbering maddness... i want
to get it to search an existing to-from report (this plane and that plane
are fairly close, or this plane yesterday and this plane today are alot
closer)
if it finds something based on the whole to/from thing it pops up a dialog
box of "hey i've found these... do they look right?" giving the user the
option to use an exsisting name or entering their own...
has anyone else done this? what hurdles do you see in this, and any ideas on
getting past them?
Thanks much
