What Language should I code this in?

[mrstuff68]

I have a project that I need to complete but I am a little confused on which language to use. I have to create a contract creator program, which has a template of a contract, the user has to fill in data, which gets populated into fields across the entire contract, but i also need to have the user to be able to update bigger chunks of the document. I have an application now in VB, using Word bookmarks, this works but isnt the best way of doing it. I would like to start from scratch.

What would be some sugguestions?

Thanks to all that reply.

Language is irrelevant - it's what you know that makes you confortable if you develop all by yourself OR what company's using if you're are in the corp world...

Well I have found out in the past that if I start out in a certain language there are limitations and you have to jump through hoops to get something completed to your liking. Then once you are done with the project you find out that if you would have used another language you could have accomplished the same in half the time.

What languages do you have available and are comfortable with?

Also, in order to recommend one of them we would need to have a bit more detail with respect to the specifics and needs of the application.

Sounds to me like this is best handled as a Word or OpenOffice macro. Have predefined fields where the user input goes in, or let the user completely edit the document. Thus, the user has his familiar word processing environment and the work you need to do is minimal.
