does anyone know of a free form design front end for mySQL that allows me to create forms with vb coding in the same way that ms access does?

specifically i need something that can display multiple column list boxes, but also allow incoming xml data handling.

Forms in MySQL? I think you mix additional features of Access with the primary things a DBMS should/can do. The handling and conversion of imput data like XML and putting it in the database is a seperate programming layer.

As Access creates SQL queries, you could try to rewrite the VB code it create to use a MySQL database, but I do not have enough VB knowledge if that kind of database abstraction is possible.

You might try Base in OpenOffice. Not sure what programming languages it supports, but I know it allows some form creation. And it's free.

Does it need to be specific to MySQL? Then why not just use Visual Basic Express?
