Yeah, I know... But I didn't day the maximum was 1000$ Canadian...

It can be higher...

Yeah, as I said, my client is a non-profit governmental organization
that studies the effect of medication on patient afflicted with
mental health problems.

It is NOT a for profit corporation !

Well, I wrote something similiar to that in the past
using only PHP. It took me around 40 hours to write EVERYTHING,
but it didn't have any GUI : everything was programmed.

Typo3 already has a GUI for Forms.

But you are right, maybe it is more complex. But I still think
Kasper, as brillant as he is, wouldn't need more than 1 week
to pull it off. The problem is that the week in question would probably
be in March 2005, busy as he is !

That part of my problem. I cannot do it in a reasonable time since I 
don't have the knowledge of the Form api.

If the client had a longer deadline, I would do it AND SHARE THE 
EXTENSION IN THE TER.

But I don't have the time to both train these guys on how to use Typo3
and the form editor, and program at the same time...

The deadline is too short.
