Sqlfan:
If you really want something to imitate Excel, rather than just using Excel
itself and the very capable VBA it includes, one option would be Borland
Delphi, using Ralf Junker's Disqlite3 as the wrapper to Sqlite3 and any one
of a number of third-party shareware grid components, easily tracked down
via Google. Disqlite3 comes with at least one example using such a
component. I suspect, however, that you wouldn't get away with a free
"personal use" version of either - not if you are working for a client.
I don't think any of us understand why you need a GUI front end to replace
Excel when Excel does all the display work for you, and your client is happy
with it. Likewise you haven't mentioned how you would write your own GUI.
If you are actually capable of doing that, my feeling is that you might as
well just get on with it because anything else is going to be a compromise.

maybe not exactly what you want - but it might be a starting point.
