Have you checked OpenOffice.org Base?

You can spend time learning half-measures and workarounds, or you can invest little more time and learn substantially better solution which scales up to bigger projects.

Better solution would be Python + sqllite database access library (not a full DB server, but uses SQL). It does not have pretty GUI of MS Access, but everything you learn you can use for real projects later. And making it web-accessible will be pretty simple too.

Edit. And because sqlite is *library*, not a full server, if is much simpler.

another one to look at is glom, but if you need to mix programming and database then a "real" database (mysql, postgresql or sqlite) wins.

Kexi.

You can also import your msaccess databases.

That's it! I knew I had used some KDE Access-like program - I searched for it, but couldn't find. Thanks!
