I'm curious, when you say front end - what do you mean ... ?

are you talking about the forms that people might use after they have 
been created, the forms building tools - or some other aspect of M$ Access?

The only times I have really used Access have been as part of an ASP 
project - when I've effecitivly been working from the command line anyway !

The one thing I do really like about Access is the relationships tool ..

It seems to me that Access is several packages in one, database server, 
visual development environment, report generator, database design tool..

No open source package is likely to take this approach
