Does anyone know whether there is front-end tool in SQL Server would allow us to build easy front-end, like FORM in ORACLE?
Thank you in advance.

About the easiest but most painfully poor way to do this is Access using linked tables.Other than that, I know of nothing right off.

Depends on your definition of 'easy'.
Access front-ends can be unbelievably cumbersome and uncontrollable.
VB using the ado datacontrol and bound data-controls is pretty straightforward, doesn't carry the MSACCESS baggage and, to my experience, is far more controllable.

I don't think there is much to choose from between the 2 if you just want an easy way to enter a bit of data, maybe access has the edge, however, if your looking at building forms to distribute to others to use I would go with VB as it allows much better deployment, although I think the most flexible solution is to do it through a web front end and use something like interdev or dreamweaver. Then you don't have to distribute the forms at all. This does require a little more work tho. Depends on your requirements I supose.
