What's a Page Designer? Do you mean forms for data entry? Or report pages (read-only data)?

We support Forms.

By page designer - its about custom reports from the data.

Do you support custom layouts (including big text boxes for certain fields, or at least a pop up zoom), and embeddable subforms? Yes, I am basically looking for MS Access for the web, and I realize I'd have to give up A LOT, but certain things I just need (a gui for designing complicated forms is nice to have, but not necessary, but the layout is).

When you say embeddable subforms, do you mean master-detail forms? What is your scenario?

Yep, master form (single row or multi, row select loads children) with detail child(ren) (usually multi row, but sometimes single), direct relationship or via xref table(s). Hope that makes sense?

I don't mind so much having to write some plumbing code if necessary as long as I can get the job done.
