    Programmer wantabe

    Hello,
    If taking into account, "I am not a programmer" and I wanted to start by creating a (form fill application) that allows for data storage, what application would be best?
    I have had some experience with MS Access, Fox Pro, Visual Basic 6, Filemaker Pro and, Jbuilder.
    My experience, with the exception of "Filemaker Pro" is limited with these applications.
    I found learning Filemaker Pro to be the easiest so If there is some application like that?
    My goal is to create an application that can be networked IE: a client/ server application where I can control the number of users with a license.

    Thank you, tmc

    Hi.
    Kexi is an integrated data management application. It can be used for
    creating database schemas, inserting data, performing queries, and
    processing data. Forms can be created to provide a custom interface to
    your data. All database objects - tables, queries and forms - are stored
    in the database, making it easy to share data and design.
    .
    Kexi is considered as a long awaited Open Source competitor for MS Access,
    Filemaker and Oracle Forms. Its development is motivated by the lack of
    Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools for database systems that are
    sufficiently powerful, inexpensive, open standards driven and portable
    across many operating systems and hardware platforms.
    .
    This package is part of the KDE Office Suite.

    I doubt that it can be used on a network without extra work, but I don't know for sure. Good luck ... cheers, drl
