declaimed the following:


>Access, and more generally VB, is excellent for building the GUI (forms, 

	Technically, that IS all that Access is -- a form/report designer. The
"native" database engine is JET (and in pre Office 2013, one had things
called Access Data Projects -- Access forms/reports using MS SQL Server as
the database engine in place of JET). JET is a file server database (each
application is opening the database file directly) rather than a
client/server system (in which the applications send requests to the server
-- the server is the only program physically touching the database
file[s]). SQLite3 is also a file server system and is packaged with Python
(on Windows at least; other systems may assume that, like the tcl/TK
system, it is installed as part of the OS)

	Not quite as friendly, and sort of a moving target: Look at Dabo [the
creators' goal was to create a Python equivalent of Visual FoxPro].
