Borland Kylix. I dunno if it is still supported, but it is a v. good alternative to VB+MS-Access. In fact you can take Kylix projects and recompile them for Windows using Delphi/C++ Builder. But Kylix uses CLX (If I remember correctly), which is different from VCL, and doesn't match upto VCL for the depth. Most CLX components seemed to be stripped down versions of the VCL components! IMHO once you use Delphi and C++ builder, you will start wondering why VB is still so popular (At least I do!)
