I'm not sure if this suits your friend's needs, but Gaby (http://www.theridion.com/gaby/) might do the trick. As it states on the site:
"Gaby is a small personal databases manager for Linux using GTK+ and Gnome (if available) for its GUI. It was designed to provide straight-forward access to databases a 'normal' user would like (addresses, books, ...) (see the descfiles page) while keeping the ability to easily create databases for other needs. On a technical side it was designed with extensibility in mind and thus use relies a lot on plug-ins; and an extension language not unlike The Gimp script-fus is available (an embedded Python)." - Andoy On Sunday 13 October 2002 7:23 pm, william villanueva wrote: > hi, > > I have a friend who is a programmer /developer of appications such as > payroll programs and accounting systems.
