Hi there, it's not me that uses Access but a charity I work with http://dib.dk . I've volunteered to update/ repair their membership database - currently MSAccess. After hearing so many bad things about it I've said i won't use it any longer than is absolutely necessary. So, I need a replacement. MySQL seems the obvious replacement - but what about a good front-end. That's what I need help with. I've not had much luck searching google/ sourceforge yet... all suggestions welcome Duncan PS: I'm currently playing with OpenOffice2.0beta - it has a database system built in - don't know how good it is yet.
