Try Themis(tm) from Frey Associates, Nashua NH. Themis is said to be an artificially intelligent front end to (currently) Oracle and Datatrieve which can take a "wish" for some report in English from a non-programmer and generate the query language for the DBMS back-end. I've never used it, and only know of the product because Frey is a customer of ours. Stephen L. Arnold, jnet Product Manager, Joiner Associates Inc. Mail P.O. Box 5445, Madison WI 53705-0445 U.S.A.
