No, programs that are made in mind for only microsoft tend only support the
broken html/javascript that microsoft uses as "standard" to break
compatibility toward browsers that follows the more official standard from w3c.
Open source projects tends to follow the w3c standard, which makes it works to
work in most browsers, even msie.

If you use PHP and make your own set of scripts, you can make it exactly as
you wife want it to be, which would be easier than for her to use access (you
can still link things toward what ever database or even text files in the
background).
If you want help with linux, there are many newsgroups and all I have been
subscribing to have been helpful and friendly. I do suggest you first look for
a newsgroup that is linked to your distro of choice, this gives you usually
better help. If you don't fuind any good newsgroup you have alt.linux, do
avoid comp.os.linux.x as long as you don't have questions about X Windows
System and things related to it (there are all to many who tries to ask help
for miscellaneous questions, but seldom get any help).

I think you need to define the values for yes and no, but I still think it's
easier to use 0/1 as they are easy to use in a if-statment (both within SQL
and in PHP).
I hope your SQL work has gone well, I guess it has as you haven't posted
anything else as far as I can see.
