    copied!<p>I have been looking on SO and can't seem to find something more recent than around 2008.</p> <p>I am looking for an alternative to Microsoft Access with similar capabilities. I.e:</p> <ul> <li>Forms</li> <li>Macros</li> <li>Reports</li> <li>Etc</li> </ul> <p>In another question <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/lightswitch/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VS Lightswitch</a> was recommended (Still in Beta 2). I had a look at it, although it seems good it is still reasonably new and unsuported at this stage.</p> <p>My main purpose is to have a DB that is simple, portable and can be accessed easily (mostly by 1 person at a time, but also sometimes by multiple people). I know Access can provide this and if it seems to be the best solution I might stick with it, but are there anything else out there that someone has found useful for custom data capture, filtering and creating reports?</p> <p>I know that Visual Studio or alike can be used, but would prefer something more in line with Access.</p> <p>The link to similar questions are (but seem to be somewhat old):</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/221995/ms-access-front-end-alternative">Front-End for MS Access migration?</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/304914/replacing-ms-access-forms">Replacing MS Access forms</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/221826/alternatives-to-access">Alternatives to Access</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29044/good-free-alternative-to-ms-access">Good Free Alternative To MS Access</a></p>
