    Hello.

    Can someone tell me if there is an applications that can build a good GUI
    from a database? I am not happy with DAP from Access 2003 (one of the
    reasons might be that I am not skilled enough to use that feature at its
    100% potential).

    Please consider these when you make your recomandations:

    1. I have a database that keeps track of stock movements in a warehouse.
    2. the GUI needs to be simple (user-friendly), suitable for users with
    little-medium DB knowledge
    3. I need to be able to generate raports, print invoices, export Query
    results in one or more formats (csv, xml, xls, html, etc)
    4. I have no experience in coding VB.

    I have found ASPRunner to be close, but not exactly what I need. Can you
    tell me about other usefull tools that might help me reach my goal?

    Thanks in advance,

    Eugen
