I found one once (at least, I found something which purported to produce
HTML forms for a MySQL database, but it was horrendously complicated to use,
and I just did it manually). But you'd imagine it couldn't be that hard to
read the structure of a database and produce an appropriate form page. I
wouldn't even be that pushed about the screen builder (though that would be
nice) as long as I could have a page produced with all the input fields.
Surely this has already been done ?
