A system and method (104) for automatically generating a custom application program (106) based upon a data source (102) is presented. The system analyzes an initial data source and automatically generates a number of graphical user interface objects ("GUI objects") (308) and other objects (310, 312, 324, 318) that encapsulate the initial data source and other information to generate an application program. The automatic generation of the GUI objects and other objects is based on a characterization of the initial data source that may be fully automated, user specified, or may involve a hybrid of automatic and user specified characterizations. Once the GUI objects are created, they are assembled into a fully-functional custom application program by an application shell program.
