New Appgen looks closest to what I want
Although [link|http://www.blackbaud.com/solutions/fe_cust.asp|Blackbaud] looks closer. I don't want to get locked into someone else's 4GL, written specifically for their own apps--I'm looking for more of an object approach, so I don't have to rebuild *too* much of my existing vertical apps. Basically I need a solid GL package which I can link our custom inventory stuff into.

If anyone knows of a similar package that leans more toward a heavier-duty RMI structure than VBA for its automation, I'd be in heaven :) J2EE, anyone?

Thanks for the links!

New AppGen can be modified in several ways
(Andrew correct me if I'm wrong)
1. You can use AppGen's 4GL language
2. You can access the database using ODBC drivers
3. There is a C interface
and there might be other options.

Spending about ten minutes googling I didn't find anything that seemed to fit your needs using Java. I'd avoid VBA.

I suspect using AppGen for the GL linked via database interface (ODBC) to your custom inventory code would work fine.
