GNUe Forms does something very similar on a larger (multi tier) scale. 
Perhaps its worth looking at to see if you really need to create
something similar.

GNUe isnt access its a LOT more.  Its much more applications that
database.  libGDA is nice enough to database stuff for us so we dont
have to worry about it. :)

Our CVS tree is working and growing very nicely.  Though you might be
looking for something more like access.

I have spoken to you on this as well.  I do not think the forms part of
access is what is needed, but rather the query tools portion.  GNUe can
do forms well and we are working on reports too.  Neither of those
things should have been in access anyhow. :)

That would be a good thing yes. :)
