hey roger -have you checked www.mono-project.com
This vmware image will let you play :
www.mono-project.com/news/archive/2006/Jul-28.html
it seems it supports windows.forms now given you want a windows gui,
though apparently people have made cross platform gtk apps with, so
perhaps you can lever glade yet! Also supports postgres
There's also a range of languages available - incl vb (albeit .net)
which isnt a qantam leap from vba which you'll already know from access.
But seeing as you in the mood for a change, well boo or ironPython might
tickle your fancy!

have to admit, like everything else ive suggested in this thread - I
havent tried it yet.
