Convert Access Database

We have a database that was recently converted to Access. We don't like Access and would like to switch this database to something much more user friendly. We need the ability to create about 5-10 different reports from this data (probably not more than 10,000 records in it now) and require something that does not involve buying Microsoft programs. We might possibly be able to use this on Linux PCs instead of ones we now have that are running Windows XP Pro, so that sort of open source software would work as well. I worked with a delveoper many years ago to create this database in Foxpro, helped get it converted to Access, so all your questions can be dealt with quickly
