Hi Neal, I like your changes to the Gui tool. The idea of the default values is great. Please post your ideas to the [EMAIL PROTECTED], i am not the only person who is working on dbforms.
Please could you send me your changed files as private mail - not only the diffs? Thanks! Your idea of using getGeneratedKey() is good. But not it's a java 1.4 feature not found in java 1.3. And the most jdbc drivers do not support this. Please could you think about wich changes to the stylesheets are for everyone and send me this?
