Thanks man. This looks very interesting. As I said I am just looking for a faster or easier way to dewign the front end of a database app. And this looms to be the ticket. Thank you to everyone for the tips and suggestions.

@zippy: believe me I am under no pretense that database apps are easy. But like I said, im just looking for something to speed up the frontend of the app. Much like ms access allows you. Only drawback ms access is you need to install the runtime. Though not a big issue, id like the app to be installed and run stand alone without the need for runtimes.

Suggestion of SQLite made earlier. Its the only one i know of that doesnt require a seperate runtime. Google it. It used in a surprising number of apps. It's extremely lightweight. It compiles into your code, so in a sense doesn't require a runtime. I use it for iPhone apps. It comprises C libraries. It's very easy to use. The documentation online is excellent, and there is a lot on sites like Stackoverflow if you need help with using the API.

But, understand this. There is a price for not having a seperate DBMS. You don't get the full features you will get from DBMS like SQL server, MySql, Oracle etc.
