    Evening All,
    Could you offer some suggestions on what dev' tool I could use to build GUIs that will read/write/commit to a Postgres DB?

    The data sets contain the usual type of things Name, Address etc etc.

    I've got experience with SQL and VBA. I'd prefer to use a freeware/shareware offering as the project budget is almost Zero. I have enough to buy a jar of Nescafe and jaffa cakes!!!!

    In the short term I'd be happy to get some simple but user friendly screens up and working. I can revisit the bells and whistle elements when the initial user screens are completed.

    Your suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like VB.net might be up your alley. Have a look at Visual Studio Express Edition.

    What are you looking for? If you mean an admin UI, how about http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/

    Or are you more looking for a CMS, or something like that?

    Seeing as you mentioned VBA I take it this is on windows? You could move to .Net and use one of the free express editions of visual studio: http://www.microsoft.com/Express/

    There is the .Net implementation of VB but I'd recommend C#.
