Does your co-worker have MS Office installed (I'm
guessing that they probably do)? If so, do they have
MS Access installed, or at least a license for it
available?

MS Access is most certainly not low-cost, but is so
widely deployed in office environments, it is
effectively a no cost solution in many cases. And it
most certainly is a convenient way to quickly put
together a functional database front end.
