[Zope-DB] Generic Data Entry

[Michael Havard]

In short, YES.

There are already some tutorials on ZOPE.org on how to populate data 
generically from SQL statements.

Basically all you have to do is have an ODBC connection to your Access 
Database, create some SQL statements (ZSQL methods) and create some 
framework pages to display it all. There is also a Formulator product that 
helps.
