"UI builder really helped me out"
Version: UI Builder for Microsoft Access 3.4
Pros
Easy to use. Great looking format. Quick to install and get started.
Cons
None really - look forward to future versions.
Summary
I had a access database that I needed to setup for a group of non-access, limited PC experience users. The standard access format really intimidated them on my first training walk through. I searched for something more visually appealing. I saw UI builder and new it was what I needed. It was a quick download, setup and update. The users were amazed at the databases changes. They understood the steps much better with UI builder.

"Its so easy to create user interfaces now"
Version: UI Builder for Microsoft Access 3.4
Pros
I don't know VB coding so its fantastic to be able to create user front-ends for my Access applications
Cons
Haven't found any glitches yet
Summary
I have developed a number of wofflow applications using MS Access but have had to rely on other people to design user interfaces. This normally involves a lot of communication until we get it right. UI Builder has enabled me to desing the interfaces myself and saves me a lot of time and frustration.

"Nice looking, user-friendly user interface"
Version: UI Builder for Microsoft Access 3.4
Pros
It is a nice looking alternative to Access' built-in switchboard style interface. I like the ability to change layout from side buttons to top buttons and the ability to easily change color schemes.
Cons
Documentation could be better. In my opinion, it requires an experienced user familiar with at least simple VBA coding.
Summary
As an experienced Access user with considerable VBA experience, I found the product to be very useful. It shortens developmental time and provides several options to the built-in switchboard style menu system. I found that some minimal coding is still required and therefore may not be as useful for novice users. Overall, I would recommend the product.

"Just what I needed to complete a project."
Version: UI Builder for Microsoft Access 3.4
Pros
Very user-friendly and nice overall look.
Cons
Still need to pull from other resources if you are new to Access and database development.

"Extremely helpful program"
Version: UI Builder for Microsoft Access 3.4
Pros
Very helpful - especially for those just starting to use Access. The automated factor allows you to grasp concepts that are very difficult to wrap your head around sometimes. Definitely simplifies things and is an incredible time saver.
Cons
It's a pretty solid product; you just need to remember that you need to save the original downloaded file - as once you've made changes, that's it. Did run into a few error messages that popped up - so keep an Access book handy for reference.
Summary
A little pricey when you first look at it; this program more than covers its cost in the amount of time that it saves you in development hours. A solid investment.
