Thanks for all of the replies.
I'd better clarify a bit:
Our home office sends our project managers an access db file containing
current project budget information. The project managers fire up access
and review the information. They make no changes - just read the info.
The desired information is selected via a query form with buttons and
fields for query generation. Results are displayed in a subsequent form.
I need a Linux application that will open the file and make use of both
the db and forms.
Thanks again
