- Haven't had to do it myself, but several people I know have done so and didn't complain about it. It looks like a pretty simple task in the manual. Its *very* useful, since you can do diagrams, etc. If the current database as RI, PK and FKs etc. then it should go well, otherwise I'd do it by hand.
- We've generated about 40 forms, with generation percentages ranging from 80% to 100%. The product works well with Forms, not so well with reports and is not useful for PL/SQL.
- We have a form that invokes Word, runs a word macro and saves it. I'm not sure if that was what you were looking for?
- This is a fairly complex question. Make sure you read up on the manual. Generally, do modules whenever you are doing a new logical unit of work.
