Is it possible to use Dark Basic as the Front End for an Access database? I would still (probably) need to use VBA and SQL to search the database and format the output but I'd like to use the graphic capabilities of DarkBasic for display purposes (graphs and models). Has anyone done something similar?

Yes - I've tested it with mySQL & Pervasive. It should work with Microsoft's SQL Server and any other you've got on your system - you just need to work out the DRIVER= parameter (which I may do for other things later).
