possible, but could be a fair amount of work. does access or any other windows
database GUI app suport ODBC access? if so, then you could probably set up
ODBC to the MySQL (or whatever...) database and use a native RAD tool?
of course, the web gui will be cross platform, but at the cost of probably
greater devel time, more potential for bugs and less power as html forms are
pretty basic animals. if your database is simple then the downsides probably
aren't that great.
