    nuBuilder Forte is a great alternative to Microsoft Access.

    It is open-source, web-based and has similar features like...

    • A Form Builder with the ability to "drag and drop" Objects.
    • A Report Builder with the ability to "drag and drop" Objects.
    • SQL Builder.
    • Format Builder for dates and numbers.

    And just like Access, a whole application can be backed up by copying 1 file.

    Is not a desktop all-in-one database product. Must be used online and can't be used offline.
