    Easy Database Manager

    I'm currently using Access 2010.
    I want to try something different database but not sure where to look.
    I want a db manager that requires very little coding. Something that utilizes wizards.
    I don't want anything very expensive. Able to import access data
    My access database consist of a backend for the data a front end for the objects.

    Thanks,
    James

    Easy Database Manager

    I believe I tried that before but I had problems getting my Access data to the SQL.
    I could be mistaken but can I simply import the Access tables into sql server express??

    It doesn't but you can still use Access as frontend.

    Access is not the only option, you can build frontend with whatever you like as long as able to talk to backend db.
