Tim's tool could be the way to go, but I thought I would throw some options
out there.

This is using Eclipse with your database. Derby is a java database.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Getting_Started_with_DTP

Also check out Seam. It has the framework to build an application that you
might be interested in. It runs in a J2EE application server such as 
JBOSS.

You might want to take a look at GRAILS too. There is the SacGRU group.
http://www.sacgru.org

I still find Web based apps complex.

Hi Mr. Riley:

Could you please talk more about your project possibly next Sunday over a
beer or 2?

I am also researching something like this but in addition a web browser form
that generates repair orders and keeps customer info in a server database.

I thought I found the silver bullet:

http://www.formtools.org/

Almost what I wanted but lacking some functions.  I don't know if I have to 
start from scratch and get a LAMP developer as well.

Eclipse. Use the data managment tool. Works great!

Cool!  I forgot to mention this should be a standalone app that
can be very easily deployed on either Windows or Linux after the
desired database schema and forms have been created.

'Databases, Casual' on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps/ is a place where I
aggregate blurbs I've encountered about possible options.  The usual
disclaimer applies:  I've not used them; I've only read about them.

Disclaimer #2:  It's been six years since I gave that page the
once-over, so there may _well_ be good options not mentioned.  At the
time I last revised the page, this seemed to be an application category
that on Linux/BSD was just beginning to flower.


You will notice separate entries in the knowledgebase index for
'Databases, SQL' and 'Databases, xBase'.  I divided out the original
'Databases' page into three parts, because it struck me that those types
served almost completely different audiences and needs.

Looking for an easy-to-use open source database management tool, maybe
sort of like MS Access.  Basically a step up from a spreadsheet with
the ability to support many-to-1 relationships between tables, present
forms for the corresponding data entry and viewing, and export to CSV

Suggestions appreciated -- perhaps the OpenOffice database component,
is that any good?
