MYSQL Data Entry Form

[Richard Hubbard]

For things like Data Entry, you can always have  MS
Access link to MySQL tables. Then you hand the users
the MS Access MDB file and (provided you are pointing
to a machine they can get to) they can access the
files.

With not much work you can also set up a custom
program in (gasp...arrgh...cough) Visual Basic.  The
Data Form wizard is almost painless.  (If you need any
extra work, though VB is a nightmare to code in).
