Not silly, just ignorant - which is normally fairly easily cured: Designer/2000 allows Analysts to record a logical design for a system, and then to convert to a physical design and then (if you want to) to actual generate the forms, reports, etc. Otherwise it just stores the data definition. Sort of a repository (it probably does more than this, but I dont use it personnally). My DBAs seem to like it.
Developer/2000 is Forms, Reports and Graphics sort-of integrated, allowing programmers to hack up front end forms and reports. The design tools for this are quite good.
