They would?  I believe you can in Access write a frontend to any
database that has an ODBC driver without writing a single line of SQL.
You just link the ODBC tables in, then write queries the normal way.

Or am I remebering things wrong?  

A guy I used to know prototyped applications this way.  Then, for the
roll out, he switch it to MS SQL on the backend.  It seemed to work
better than your average MS product at the time.
