We are currently using Ms Access and are looking to convert to MySql and 
something we could run on browser, therefore the java option, we're

OO are a good idea, but I realy want something that would be available

My frontend alone are currently about 350Mb(excludung images) and the 
database is about 1GB.
I really wish I knew more about at least Open Office when I started this

When working on a computer you have to know enough:
  To fake what you don't know.
  Google what you can't fake.
  How (and when) to 'motivate' the computer to do what Google won't tell.
