Front-end to create reports and queries, and to load data into thedatabase

[Bob M]

I've been trying to find a freeware front end to the MySQL database to
create reports based on queries, and some sort of front-end which I can
format for other users to use to load data into the db. Is there anything
out there for those functions?

Yes you can :-)
If you use windows (i've seen it on you browser signature -Mozilla-), you can install myodbc driver (you can download it from mysql.com site).
So you can use Access or OpenOffice via ODBC.
For example if you open Access, NewTable, ImportTable or LinkTable and you can chooes ODBC table.
If you open OpenOffice press F4, NewSource and add MySQL db.

I hope to be useful; sorry for my english.

That helps a lot, but I was looking for a stand-alone reporting front end.
OpenOffice is freeware; Access is not. I'll consider OpenOffice if I can't
find anything else.

No reason to apologize for your English - you do very well!
