It has its shortcomings but I'm still looking for a replacement that

It might be worth having a look at OpenOffice's database
functionality, I've only dabbled in it and have never used access but
it has visual form designing and can work either with its own inbuilt
database or interface with other databases.

I have looked at it and I'm on the developer's mailing list. My main
concern is that in an attempt to duplicate Access functionality it may
duplicate its weaknesses too.

I think that can be said of the whole OOo project. In trying to pander
to the MS Office masses they have missed the opportunity to make it a
much better application.
