I would really appreciate some help in chosing which software to use for the following requirement.
We have a very old dos based database (Q&A) that needs to be replaced. I need a product that is simple to use and will allow approx 15 users to access the database over a network. Web access would be great, but I don't want to complicate things too much. I will also need to create input screens & reports.The product must be capable of adding more users (upto 50).
I have looked at FileMaker Pro and it appears to do all that we want and reads as easy to use.
We have MS SQL7 (used for our CRM software). Creating a new database seems fairly easy, but what about the front end for the users? Can this be provided using MS Access?
I have quite a few years exp in Informix (creating databases, tables, screens etc)

There are many other products available and any advice on which software to use would really help.

Many thanks.

Paul.
 
Use Access.
We're presenting moving our stuff from Filemaker to Access.
 
Use delphi for the front-end, and MS-SQL (or other) for the Database (back-end)
