there is actually free MsAccess runtime software that allows you to open a MsAccess Application... can't edit it or change it but you can run and use it.

What about using VB.NET? The reason I bring this up is because the app could become cross platform compatible if the *nix users have the Mono runtime. There may need to be some tweaking, but if you are just doing basic connections, and you use the ByteForge mysql connector to connect to the database, you should be able to just move it to a mono enabled system and run the app. We have some apps at work that were build in vb.net on a windows xp developer system and our ops team uses linux as thier desktop with mono and they have no issues with the core functionality. Web Service calls are a little rough, but the rest runs fine on a linux box.

Funny you mention vb.net. I am working an Access 2003 front end so i can get a good feel for how i want the background code to flow and as i complete components i am migrating them over to my .com as vb.net. I dont have vstudio.net nor any other code editor and I do all my web content creation via Dreamweaver MX which doesn't lend itself very well to any form of coding....


Anyho, I will be providing the vb.net code once i get it less dangerous... one click db go bye bye right now.
