Puntz - My standard rate is about $500/day if I am working from our offices - can get up to $1000/day if I am working on-site in Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane (with travel costs/accomodation, etc). I generally work in Visual Basic which as Shaun indicated is quite easy to develop in so simple programs can be done for reasonable cost. Most of the time I have spent on my program has been in writing the code to extract information from different websites and save it to my database - the actual part of the program that gets the info back out of the database is quite simple!

If you want anything done let me know - although hopefully I will be retiring in a few months and living of my "investment" income :grin:
