============================================================================

This is a re-working of the INSUREME application written by Darrique ?.  
I added a few extras to it, since the demo I was given to rework had only
one screen to it.  The original had several MDI Child windows in it, but 
there seemed to be no way of accessing them.  I decided to just go with full-
screen size windows for ease of data entry.  There was quite a bit of 
unimplemented functionality in the original app, so I had to extrapolate 
what he meant to put in the application.  I used forms from the Prudential 
Insurance Co. provided to us for most of the information in the app.

The app was written to be as flexible as possible.  Therefore you can go 
back and forth between edit screens and update any data that is erroneous.
The program demonstrates the major functionality of Pen Windows controls -
BEdit fields, HEdit fields, both with DelayRecog on and off, as well as an
array of "point 'n shoot" type edit fields (check boxes, option buttons, etc.)

If you make any changes to the forms, you should beware - all the
controls were placed in design mode, and are not placed programmatically.
That can be done if desired, but if you're careful not to click and move
the wrong things, everything should be ok.

Simply run the .EXE, then fill out the required info.  Not all fields have
to be filled in before you can move on, although that could become a 
requirement later, before generating the report.  As it stands now, the app  
is mostly complete, although not totally finished.  The LOAD and SAVE FORM 
buttons aren't functional at this time.  Saving ink in the signature HEdit field 
proved too big an obstacle given the time frame I had.  The report form is
pretty rudimentary - I ran out of time to really polish it up and add extra
functionality.  It could easily be fleshed out to have more interpretive 
information.  One idea I had but didn't have time to follow up on was a 
risk assessment based on what the applicant had entered in the previous 
forms.  For example, if they ticked YES on a lot of "bad" things, then the
risk factor would be high - ie. "Bad Risk" to insure.  

Simply click the action buttons at the bottom of each form to move back 
and forth between the forms, it's pretty self-explanatory.  A sample script
would be like:  A prospective insuree is give the app to fill out.  They 
start on the Main Form, and enter the information such as name, occupation,
sex, etc.  When finished with that, they would press the "Additional 
Information" button, which would show that screen.  On this screen, they
would enter additional information, and sign the form.  After returning back
to the main form, they would then press the "Medical" button to go to the
medical data entry screen.  After filling this information out, they would
return to the main form, and press the "Report" button to generate a report.
After this, they have the option of changing previous choices, or ending 
the app.

If you have any problems let me know.  I've included all the forms and  
the MAK file, as well as all the custom controls needed to run it from VB if 
the EXE I provided fails to run.

Good luck and let me know what you think!
