Kexi
Ah-ha! That looks like it might be the lead I wanted. Hopefully my use case is so trivial that I won't bump up against any of the limits and problems that you found. Thanks Neil.When I looked at Kexi for a minimal database (multiple tables, simple relationships, simple forms, etc) it seemed like the most appropriate. I fully agree regarding LOBase - horrible, horrible, horrible!
The biggest problem I bumped into with Kexi is importing data from a spreadsheet to be appended to an existing table. Nightmare. If you're bringing the data in from a spreadsheet, do it once and them stop using the spreadsheet completely! I also found Kexi wasn't too enamored with the idea of user-created primary keys - even if you *know* the data in a given field is completely unique, it still might just throw a wobbly and refuse to key it, insisting that it creates the key instead.Other than that, I quite like Kexi. This also looks quite interesting: http://www.glom.org/
