I know how to build a form and theme it manually (using php in a module), but I would think that someone would have come up with a way to do it the way views are created. As I understand it, webform is for creating surveys. What I'm looking for is a way for someone to build a data entry form without having to code it up.
Using a content type or webform should work. Both allow you to add fields and provide the form for entering data. Which is better depends on how you want to use the data. I prefer content types as there are a wider array of field types and more options for layout (theming) the results.
