I haven't heard of any other tools like this one. I have personally used this one for 2 years and would do a data layer without it. I can bring any SQL Server 7 database with id fields for keys forward to VB with insert (all fields optional), update (all fields optional except id), delete, search (all fields optional), select one, select all, and select by foreign key. This tool takes a task that normally requires several weeks to complete and reduces it down to a few minutes for me.
