1391751 2015-01-08 23:40:00 Okay we are looking at doing some database development work and I am wanting some recommendations to development tools.

Will be using SQL Server for the back end...but am wanting recommendations for front end. Could go the access route, but we are wanting something a little more robust than this. Could use VS but wondering if there is something out of the box that will give me all the inherent database tools (something similar to Dataflex).

Going to possible look at deploying on a mobile platform, so need to be able to run it on an Android tablet or possibly a MS Tablet (preference is Android).

Thanks in advance

1391752 2015-01-09 03:23:00 When you say "front end" are you meaning the client facing website that the database is attached to?
If so why not just build a standard website using html CSS JavaScript? You could use a responsive framework like Foundation or Bootstrap which would speed up your dev time. That way it would work on any mobile device - android, iPhone or Windows tablet.

Is it a large scale enterprise project?

Yep the front end is the client facing portion for data entry etc.

I take it the client is a large business which will be needing an easy to use interface which will require minimal training for the staff to come up to speed when using the site?
