The choice of tool for simple corporate database

The task is to make the corporate database for one company. The database is designed to store statistical information. Data will be little, so that the performance is not the key point. The important point is the ability to import/export data from/to xls/xlsx files. Users simple users and therefore requires the visual query. Requirements for multi-user work with data — no.

Could you tell me which tool you should use to create such a database? While the most obvious option — Microsoft Access. Maybe there are alternatives?

Look at Ironspeed Designer
Generates a CRUD interface to a DB on Asp.Net (C# or VB.Net choice) - hence no problems with the installation of software on client machines. A big plus is that the project generated in ISD can be bent without problems in VS.
As a database you can use mssql, oracle, and ms access. Export/import xls is out of the box
Have sharing settings on the roles, down to individual fields on pages.
