The original OP asked about GUI development tools.

In a large production database system it is
almost never a good idea to allow individual
end-users to do ad-hoc queries. One 'select *'
with join's and a sort against a DB with millions
of records could bring the entire system to a crawl
for all of the other concurrent users and applications
(unless the ad-hoc queries are done against a backup
of the production DB instead of the production DB itself
but, then you have to worry about network bandwidth).

I'm not very familiar with Access, but we use Web forms
and Java GUI apps to allow our corporate users acces
to predefined reports against our corporate Oracle DB's.

Regards,
Larry
