The quickest solution would be to use a proper DBMS, attaching tables via
ODBC, if any forms/reports operates on joins then create queries set as
passthru SQL then use MS-Access (on a file share) as a front end. While I
like MySQL for web-based stuff, PostgreSQL might be a better backend of
this kind of setup.
