there are a number of front ends to sqlite - I use sometime tksqlite. http://reddog.s35.xrea.com/wiki/TkSQLite.html

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

Let me be more clear.  There's very little data, and I want to help my
client
be able to expand his business, so the first step is automating what he's
been doing by hand.  I can get the excel data into sqlite no problem --
and
wish to do so in order to START doing automated stuff with the data -- but
would like to PRESENT (and only present) the data in the familiar
spreadsheet manner.

This is a general problem: many people use excel as a database only
because
of how nice it looks once they add coloring, and because it's easier to,
say, have the three address fields as three columns, even though logically
it should be a separate table Addresses.  So, I'd like to have the same
familiar input view without having the client worry about the details
(which
column is really what table, etc) and also to be able to color it as he
has
done to date.  So, is there is a free gui frontend to sqlite that will do
it, or do I have to code one myself?

Thanks!

think Excel can cope with that fine.
If you really want to move the data from Excel to
SQLite then you will need a VB wrapper.

I have a client who's using a colorful excel sheet as a database.  It's
colorful, well-structured, and a joy to use.  He has no code working on
the
data though -- it's just used for holding data, like a ledger book!

My question is how I can put his information into a sqlite database but
give
him a very similar interface -- the same, well-structured, colorful,
spreadsheet view?  I don't want him to even have to worry about which
column
is actually in which table-- just have it look like an excel sheet.

This is very basic and easy, and I'd hate to have to reinvent the wheel
coding it -- is there a free sqlite gui that can present such a
colorful
spreadsheet view?

Thank you!
