It all depends on how much of a learning curve you're prepared to tackle, and
the project requirements of course. MS Access will certainly work for lots of
things. If you want to branch out, I would suggest Perl/Tk or possibly Python.
I use lots of perl, and find it well worth learning because I can use it to
write end user applications, web applications, system administration utilities,
just about anything short of hardware drivers. Much of that is also true of
Python, though Python hasn't been around quite as long and doesn't have as big a
user base... yet. Perl, Python, Tcl and other languages can be used to write
functions that run inside Postgresql, incidentally, though you may never need
that capability.
Have fun!
