LibreOffice has quite a nice WYSIWYG form builder. As well as an SQL

Decent FORMS are generally more foolproof for employees than the

Naturally, LibreOffice Base supports all that as well.
Well, never say "naturally" - what's in v9.10 might not
be in v9.11 :-) However LibreOffice IS a great suite
regardless.
Access let you attach a lot of code - ie
"idiot/error-protection" - to each box on the form. Never checked if
Libre is so flexible.
LibreOffice allows for more modern scripting languages, like Python.
Python is very good - and maybe less BS than VBA.
VBA did cover it all ... but it got kinda ugly.
ANYway ... the most common subthread here is whether
Access is still worth it. IMHO, yes. More than enough
power/capability for a LOT of small biz/etc needs and
the price is fair and the product is WELL-refined by
now. LibreOffice is also good - and cheaper - but I've
never used it for extensive DB development so I can't
say if it's equally capable.
