I'm wondering what tools people might recommend to develop SQL Server front ends? I've got a budget that requires that I pick tools that are pretty easy for a developer to use, and can be used to quickly develop applications. Access makes the most sense, but I'm not very fond of it.

Any other suggestions?

Well, depending on what you need to support, you can write a front end in anything. C/C++, VB, VB.Net, VBScript, C#, Java/JavaScript, Perl, Python, ASP, ASP.Net, MS Access, FoxPro/Visual Foxpro, the list goes on. Of course it helps to use a programming language you already know...

Although I despise it, Visual Interdev has a bunch of things that can help you get a front-end together pretty quickly, if you need or want an ASP solution (and you're not too concerned with having good, solid code) Macromedia has Dreamweaver MX now, I haven't used it much but I know there's a lot of template-type stuff. Then there's regular Visual Studio and VS.Net, and if you want something free:
