My company has been trying kill off its use of Access for over 10 years now. Every time a new IT executive comes in, they decree that access will be eliminated. The only thing that has prevented this from happening is the company-wide question “Well, what do you want us to use instead?”
Once again, we have a new IT exec, and we’re going through the motions again. Except this time, scuttlebutt has it that the new IT exec has talked the CEO into suffering the consequences. IT guy’s position is “let the company go through its withdrawals. We won’t die from it.” And this time, rumor has it, when the question of a replacement comes up, his reply is going to be “I don’t know. Figure it out.” I’ve personally moved several DBs off access to excel wherever I can but excel is not the answer for everything. Some of my peers are moving to MySql, but they find it slower to work with.
So my question is; what applications are there out there, with user-friendly GUIs, that super-users can use instead of Access
