I will echo several others in suggesting the OpenOffice.org Base as a solution. While not quite as polished yet as MS Access in some respects, it still can be a powerful tool (and integrates well with the rest of the suite). Added bonus is that you should be able to use OOo on your MS PC to transfer the Access database to the native OOo database format (or any of several other choices given in the program), since under Windows the OOo Base program is able to read/write/etc Access database files.
