Good morning,
DNN is awesome. My question is: How do I use DNN for making "fast web forms" for ADD, UPDATE, DELETE, etc. on simple new tables, when our end users come up with them?
EXAMPLE
We use a wizard to make forms quickly, for ADD, EDIT, DELETE, LIST, and EXPORT. Here is an example of a set of web pages I made this morning in about 5 minutes (feel free to add and edit records to see what the web pages do:

Whenever one of our end users comes up with a new table, we depend upon this wizard to "webify" the table, because it takes about 5 minutes from start to finish. Here are some screen shots of the wizard, to give you an idea of how it works:

Million Dollar Question: HOW TO DO THIS IN DNN?
Now, we need a way to make these forms in 5 minutes inside our DNN portal, whenever anyone comes up with a new table like the one in the example.
This is where I am stuck, because I keep envisioning I need to write a custom module for every new table someone comes up with. Maybe I can make the new custom modules in a few hours, but that seems like too much work, just for webifying a SQL Server table.
I am thinking someone here can fill me in on how to deal with this in the DNN way.
As always, any information will be appreciated immensely.
Best regards,
