UI builder really helped me out
cafullerJune 22, 2009
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
hughgobleJune 10, 2009
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
HauserEJune 8, 2009
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.
Professional Looking Results!
jap412June 3, 2009
Pros
UI Builder provides and intuitive interface for both the developer and the end user. Allows you to build an easy to navigate access application your users will appreciate. Has my database applications looking like they were professionally designed.
Cons
Make sure you double check your work before you complete the final steps as stated in other reviews or you will need to start over. However, checking your work should be done anyway.
Summary
An easy to use system that provides professional looking results. 100% recommended.
Excellent for non technical customers
r924May 31, 2009
Pros
Databasaes developed using UI builder look a lot less intimidating that the standard Access UI. My cousmers have compliemted me on the beauty and user friendliness of the databases I've built for them, thanks to UI Builder!
Cons
The documentation for customizing UI builder could be a ltitlle more clear. I learned how to get rid of the deault menu screen by trial and error
Summary
Quick customization for Access databases with a great looking interface for non technical customers
Very user friendly and easy to use.
nkhimesMay 31, 2009
Pros
Easy to setup and configure
Cons
Coding is still required for forms and reports. Module code can create conflicts with built in routines which must be resolved.
Summary
Easy to use and powerfull
EnvirInfoMay 30, 2009
Pros
Easy to develop profesionnal looking UI. The new search feature is very powerfull and easy to add to your forms. Creating Outlook tasks and emails directly within applications provide a very good integration with day to day time management.
Cons
The documentation could be more explicit for few features.
Summary
Worth the price and very powerfull!
Just what I needed to complete a project.
samlowenMay 30, 2009
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.
Summary
Extremely helpful program
SteveStoffletMay 29, 2009
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.
The Best Interfase for Microsoft Access today.
Roberto_EscalanteMay 29, 2009
Pros
It covers the hole of access about design of a basic User Interfase inestead of forms comes with layouts with colors schemes (customizable) & also includes some well documented useful tools
Cons
Even is extremely easy to use, if you have a builded application , you have to do minor changes to get the forms runing on the UI Builder
Summary
Quick customization of Access applications with a nice good looking interface. 100% Recomended
