hi steve

pgaccess (on linux) is pretty good.  there are some good tools for 
windows clients as well.  i'll try to remember to post some names.

and - not wanting to punt for work - it is dangerous for the layman to 
create databases.  we come accross these sometimes when they start 
falling apart (Access does have a size limit) and it is very difficult 
for them to accept that the DB has to be redesigned from scratch!!!
