Valentina is only the database. Like many other databases (mySQL or PostgreSQL) you need to do the interface yourself. This is waaayyyyy more work than in Access, but it's worth the result. I'm using Xojo for this but you can use other languages for this, too.

That is right.

1) MS Access this is not only DB, but some kind of IDE. Exists yet similar products as 4D and FileMaker.

2) You going to work on Windows or you need to use other OS? Why exactly you want migrate from Access?

3) We going in future add into our Valentina Studio a) Forms b) internal language to write code, but this is future yet for us.

4) For now you can use Valentina DB + Valentina Reports + Valentina Server (DB/Reports) with some other language to develop your solution. For example
* Valentina + Xojo IDE -- good for cross-platform desktop apps
* Valentina + PHP/Java -- good for web apps
* Valentina + .NET -- good for Windows apps

Thanks Beatrix and Ruslan for your replies. Filemaker and 4D will not work for me as I am on Linux. Ms Access is my last remaining app that I have not been able to replicate on Linux. Is there any plan for when Forms will be released?

Its hard to say. In the best case - next year.

Hello,

well for Linux you could use Xojo to Write an App for the Valentina DB or the C and C++ Versions are useable on Linux.

But you'd have to write your own Interface App to the Data in the DB.
