Not that I know anything at all, but you have clearly exposed your newbie-ness
Is that the same as dropping your drawers? ;-)
by requesting a form designer. MS consumer/light-duty products like Access have form designers; Real Work (tm) databases do not. If a pretty form is what you're after, I'd recommend building the database with a real SQL engine (such as MySQL/mSQL/PostgreSQL) and then attaching to it with the StarOffice database tools. StarOffice is in the [pay] series on the SuSE CD's.
Hmmm, I like that methadology. Use the sql for back end , and somthing like staraoofice as the front end for the nice screens. StAr Office is a real system hog , what other options are there besides staroffice and pgaccess. Anything that can through together real quick and easy forms ect.. That will keep users from changing everything and srewing it up ? How extensive is the staroffice front end ? What is it script based ? Anyone used applixware witha sql back end ? How is it ?
But you can download a free version of SO 5.1a from sun.com. PostgreSQL has a tcl app called pgaccess which mimicks Access design tools in some features, but you wouldn't want to develope an industrial app with it. JLK
