Some people like to use MS Access as a frontend using MyODBC to 'link
tables'. If you have access, you'll need to install myodbc ( available in
the downloads section of www.mysql.com ), configure a datasource connection
with a valid username + password etc, and then in access:
File -> Get External Data -> Link Tables
Then choose 'ODBC Connections' in the file type drop down. Select your newly
created connection ( from myodbc installation above ), choose your tables
and booyaah - your mysql data will seem just like access tables!
