 The main thing you should realize right off the bat is that 
 Access gives you
 a lot of functionality with buttons and other controls and 
 they are quite
 easy to control with macros and/or VBA. However, depending on 
 the complexity
 of your forms, most of this functionality will be a challenge 
 to replicate
 on the web, regardless of which language you choose. 

Are there any open-source database front-ends that have similar
functionality to MS Access?  We're currently using Access with tables linked
to MySQL, but find it leaves something to be desired when it comes to
stability and license flexibility.  We'd really like to move to something
open-source.  PHP doesn't really fit the bill because a web-based interface
isn't ideal for our application -- we prefer the more interactive feel of
Access's forms.

Take a look at OpenOffice or StarOffice -- you may have to spend a day 
getting
it to work, though. One of my colleagues is especially pleased with 
StartOffice 6.1
(think it's in Beta right now).

It depends on what you want to do with the font end. You would always
look at MyCC and SQLyog at
http://www.mysql.com/products/mysqlcc/index.html and
http://www.webyog.com/ respectively.

I recently found this web-based front end and am extremely impressed by 
it. Among other things,it lets you bookmark your sql queries.
