Unfortunately this isn't an option as the forms are official and updates
are released semi-regularly. Also, if I have to re-enter forms then it
means that when it's finished I can't leave the project for someone else
with out training them how to re-enter forms. At least if it was
semi-automatic I could probably automate it using PHP and Perl on the
server.
