Thanks for that and for all the other answers received. It does look as
though kexi is going to be the nearest one to what I am looking for. I
will look at it more closely. At the moment I am using Edgy which is
getting a bit old, so my version of kexi is also old. I expect to move
to Hardy in April which should have more up to date versions of
programs, and is the next LTS version I understand.

Thanks again
