Thank you for the point. I'm the C++ programmer and I'm author of the 
C++ client library for PostgreSQL - Pgfe and I'm going to use it in 
this project. But I'm not sure about the cross-platform GUI toolkit.


The cross-platform GUI toolkit will be the challenge.


Try Qt .  It uses c++, comes 
with a dual license (LGPL/commercial) and supports all relevant platforms:
- Linux: will work ootb for all distos I know, without the need to ship 
it with libraries
- macOS: includes support to create the usual bundles which go into the 
Applications folder

- Winbloze: works fine there, too, if you insist on a broken os ;-)

I worked on a Qt-based oss project in the past, and it is actually 
trivial to create binaries for all aforementioned platforms from the 
same sources.


That's a very good solution, IMHO.

Otherwise, WxWidgets (https://www.wxwidgets.org/) could also be a good 
solution...

Thanks Martin. I have decided to go another route. I have nothing but 
problems whenever I use Microsoft products. I personally think that 
Microsoft was shit when it started, and it is still shit 35 years 
later. So, I am just going to take Windows off my computers and put 
Linux on them and just use a different client.


I'm a Linux user and I applaud your move. Just be aware you will not 
find an Access replacement on Linux. You will find things that have 
subsets of its functionality, but not a drop in replacement.


What about Lazarus IDE?

https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Free, cross platform, relatively complete and easy to use, based on 
FreePascal, with reporting tools included...

It is with much sadness that I am letting the community know that Chris
Browne passed away recently.

Chris had been a long time community member and was active on various
Postgresql mailing lists.  He was a member of the funds committee, the PgCon
program committee and served on the board of the PostgreSQL Community
Association of Canada. Chris was a maintainer of the Slony replication
system and worked on various PG related tools.

I worked with Chris for over 10 years and anytime someone had a problem he
would jump at the chance to help and propose solutions. He always had time
to listen to your problem and offer ideas or explain how something worked.

I will miss Chris

Steve

He sounds exactly like the kind of person you want to have around.
