[AccessD] Better Access GUI

[David Emerson]

Hi Rocky,

I have tried that.  Everyone complains about what it isn't, but very few come up with what they want it to look like.  When they do come up with examples they are not relevant (for example, my design software looks like this, I can drag shapes to design rooms and buildings.  Make my database work like this!!!!)  They don't seem to realise that different applications need different functionality.  Our database doesn't do this sort of thing so of course it is not going to act the same way as creating drawings (sigh).

The best at this stage I can do is get some ideas of what others have done and work from there.

As always, I appreciate everyone's help.

Can you post some pictures of forms somewhere where we can get to them so we can see what the UI looks like?
