RE: data entry

Is the problem with license that the developer doesn't want to pay the
license? If I remember correctly you can "compile" the MS Access
application into an MDE file and then distribute that file with the free,
run-time only MS Access. Is that right? I've not tried it because all of
my applications run on systems here at work and we have a site license to MS
Office Pro 97 which includes Access.

This is what I've been doing with a personal project at
home. Since I do a
lot of development in Access but wanted to give PostgreSQL a
try. The big
problem with using Access is paying for the license.

How about a good BASIC & PostgreSQL combination to give you
something along
the lines of Ardent's UniVerse? Anyone?

I've got several applications where I use a PostgreSQL
database running on a
Linux server with a MS Access front end application running
on the
individual PCs. It was pretty painless to build, although
knowing something
about Access would have been nice, and it provides a nice
user interface for
the individuals that enter the data. Then I have Perl CGI
scripts written
on the server to provide read only reports to the web site.
