Something like offline-sync or two-way replication?

Hi Fellas, I've been asked to make a user-friendly front end to a fairly simple database, originally I was looking at MySQL as the back-end but in truth it doesn't really matter what is used for that component. They would like to have a centralized database that various administrators can access, etc, and have less problems with duplicating efforts -- most of their work currently exists on paper. The database is not large, it would take some time (many years) for the data to reach even a thousand records. Base actually makes this sort of work delightfully simple, a very simple series of forms is essentially the most of it. The problem is, they would like to access this remotely from various locations from a laptop, and I can assume that an internet connection will not always be available. So in essence, I'm looking for a way they can fill out a form, then return to the office and upload their changes to a database. I don't believe they necessarily need to access any data from the database outside of the office, just to make changes to it when they return. There are likely to be only around four people using this so efficiency is not a high priority. Any suggestions on the best or perhaps easiest way to do this? Cheers! SD
