OpenOffice.org (with is 99% of StarOffice) includes a database GUI, but no backend. The following link shows how to link OpenOffice.org with MySQL. The end result is far more powerful than MS Access. http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2460 -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] "As history shows a lot of ActiveX components are buggy and new version is released.

RE: [newbie] Replacement for MS ACCESS ?
You could try this company: http://www.SciBit.com They make something called Mascon that works great. It is a commercial product, so it costs (I think it was around US$70), but they have a free trial. I recently looked through a number of these programs and there are some free ones as well, but this is the one I liked best. I'm using the Win32 version, so I can't help you sort out any installation issues on Linux.
