Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. It's nice to be on a forum that gets some attention. I wholeheartedly agree with the advice from Surefire and Steve that doing it the old fashioned way is still the way to go. I have had some experience with code generators for RPG, years ago. They produced code God himself could not maintain. I was hoping things had changed. I was looking to these as a way to get jump started and then build from there. It seems apparent that the pros are not real impressed with these products or you would be able to get more opinions about them. I guess programming never changes, only the languages do!

Thanks for your reply, Don. Here are a couple of links to some I have looked at. PHP MySQL | Web database software PHP Generator I am looking for a shortcut to create a complete web based application to maintain a database of private corporate information. I need sound security, multiple user access levels, add, edit, query, reporting. I even need it to be able to be updated by information from a database on another server. I have been programming on the IBM machines for 25 years, but this Web based PHP/MySQL stuff is new to me. This old dog has to learn a new trick as quickly as possible! Thanks

There are a bunch of these code generators available. Are they worth it? Do they create editable code? Does TCH support files created with them?
