With Salsa software ($149; with starter kit, $189), you describe the things you want to track using simple drag-and-drop templates, menus, and buttons, and the program does the rest. You can use your own words, or words specific to your business, to identify a semantic object and each of its characteristics. The software automatically prompts you when it needs more information and provides simple screens for you to input it. With one keystroke, Salsa automatically produces database tables, menus, forms, and reports, and it packages them in an application with its own icon on the Windows desktop.
