How about setting odbc connection in open office and creating forms there?

You could also use qt. It is easy to program and can natively connect to the 
database. You can choose the language binding if your choice.

In some cases, people have used access as frontend to postgres using odbc 
connection.

Ours is an Excise registered unite and every month we have to file excise 
return  .
I want to use Postgress to  store the data . We will feed data pertaining to 
receipt of raw mtl  and sales of finished prducts  along with excise duty 
paid on daily basis and at the end of the month take out  a report and submit 
to excise dept.
Since the task of data feeding has to be made as easy as possible, I want to 
use a GUI to Postgres. Further at the end of the month the report needs to be 
printed in a format which remains same every month.
So any help in this matter will be helpful.

 Hmm... what you need is a PG database and a fronting UI to generate
reports. Look at FOSS based reporting solutions like ReportLab or
Jasper to generate the reports from PG. You can hire a developer for
about a week to do the required...

You could also look at kexi/kugar for database front end and report 
generation. Both of these are part of koffice.
