Is MySQL, on its own, actually much like Access?  Access is really mostly
a GUI tool, isn't it?  (I have no familiarity, but I think I've heard this,
and would be surprised if it weren't true :^) )

I do almost no database work, but I'm aware of GUI tools that either use
their own database, or use others (like MySQL) underneath.

Using a web interface might be an idea, too.

Good luck!
