We've been using cardiff enterprise for about 2 years now. It's an intuitive form designer and handles the creation of form specific tables as well as the export of the web entered form data to the the data tables. We're using a relational database and connecting via odbc. However, we do quite a bit of form scripting outside of the cardiff package. And we do not use the cardiff package to prefill any of the forms from the database. We have had to go outside the package due to the complexitiy etc of our form logic and relational database. But with little cardiff experience, no previous web development experience, I had several forms functioning on the web and throughout our business structure within 4 months. My only drawback, was the lack of adobe forms books and cardiff user group. There are several adobe forms books now and cardiff has improved their web accessed faq's etc... Pdfzone was my best resource.

That's really the key here, I think - a solution that allows for Unlimited (or unknown) users. We've gone the Adobe route for our internal forms but to do that for our external (web) forms would cost an arm, leg, and any three other appendages... I think this discussion could turn into a "debate" in regards to what's out there and what is indeed best. I've been looking around at these things for a couple of months now and the options vary a lot. Perhaps collaboration of findings would benefit all those involved.
