Hello,

We have already created a user GUI designer (within the app) as well as a 
user Report Designer (also within the app).  Report Designer was done 
earlier in a product and is used heavily across the user base.  GUI 
Designer is not yet shipping.

I'm not fully sure what the thread is leading to but I'll be happy to 
explain if you want to know more.

Regards.

Leo.
