GUI Design Guidelines

Does anyone know of an up-to-date set of guidelines for developing good GUIs for desktop applications? I ask because I work on a large PB system that was originally developed by a team that had no formal PB training. The buttons used on the various sheets are confusing at best.

Save and OK and Close on the same window? What does OK do? It actually saves and closes. So does Close. Ugh.

I've been tasked with developing loose but acceptable 'standards' for new development (and to fix existing objects when needed).

Hi Larry;

  Wow .. its sounds like you need my old PowerGuide PowerExpert products ... "Standards, Procedures and Guidelines for PB"!  It was sold for me by a former company named AJJA.

Hi Larry;

   Lots of snow (25+ cm) today here in Ottawa!  

   Shoot me a private email and I will send you a PDF copy (originally deployed as .HLP files).

Um... don't have your email anymore and I don't know how to do it from these forums. So, here's mine and you can reply to me (if that's ok): [email protected]
