Anyone have any utilities for designing MS Access front-ends? MS
Access' tools are pretty vanilla.

There used to be a good cherry one but now that Asp.Net is here you'd
have to be satisfied just with the box that it came in.

I see you didn't get the point of my post.

As worded, it strikes me as a meaningless (or even stupid),
question.

I have no idea what it is that Access lacks that requires utilities
to extend it. I've never run into any UI that was appropriate to
task that I couldn't implement in Access in some form or another
(not always the same way it's implemented in other apps).

I was thinking more about a development kit or something like that
that is already available. I would like it to let me design
attractive front-ends with similar effects seen on many web pages
without a lot of programming knowledge. Thanks.

In spite of the flavour of some of the replies to your question I think this is not a totally
unreasonable question. Though it is a good idea to have some concept of how data should be
represented if you intend to develop the database yourself rather than just a front end!

The wizards in Access are aimed at this target but assume you master Access itself at least to some
level first.

Googling for front end for database finds lots of things such as
