If they want to use it from across an untrusted network, I'd suggest writing a web app and securing the link with SSL and HTTP Basic Authentication. If network security is not a consideration, then you could setup PostgreSQL with ODBC and let them access using MS-Access as the front end. If you do this, you'll need to make sure every table has a primary key or you may not be able to update it via ODBC. >First, I'm curious to know if there is an equivalent simple to use >frontend interface / GUI package native to linux that a Windows user >could readily grasp. If you just need simple forms and table editing, you could use OpenOffice. You can setup data sources with OOo that point to any of several database backends, including ODBC, DBF files, delimited text files, etc. Tony - -- Anthony E.
