[Tfug] MSAccess frontend to PostgreSQL?

[Don Freeman]

Regardless of the frontend you will need drivers to handle connections to
the data (OLE). Do you know if they exist? You might want to look at the
.NET tools that are available free from MS. Do a search on "Web Developer
Express".

Subject: [Tfug] MSAccess frontend to PostgreSQL?

Hi,

I have a datastore running on a PostgreSQL server.

I need an easy way to build some reports/forms for newbie/casual users
(i.e., "Visual" tools).  Ideally, web based but I don't imagine I'll find
that as easy to come by as something like Access  :<

[*I* am not keen on building these interfaces so I would like to dumb-down
the tools used to the point where someone "inexperienced" can *almost* do
it...]

Any suggestions?

Anyone try to wire Access to such a beast?

I'll grep the Postgres web site and see if anything turns up.

Thanks!
