Does anyone know of any good database software? Something like Access
would be great. Thank you for your help.

After MUCH searching, the only thing I've found that comes close is
DBworx. Other free database tools are either too complex to learn
(Firebird/Interbase, Mysql) or have support for only one table (VBDB and
a group of others). DBworx will allow for relational tables. However it
has no form or query builder support.

OpenOffice has a nice front end for forms queries and reports etc.,
but no back end as of yet. One is promised with version 2.0

That's the scoop.
