Suitability of Processwire vs MS Access

[John Kelleher]

Very much sold on Processwire (thanks Ryan et al) and looking to supplant various dev stacks with it. Have a local charity needing a system to look after a collection of client records and produce a bunch of reports on how the clients engage with the support services. Basic func. spec:

• CRUD operations on clients - all fine for PW, I know though if anyone knows of some code/modules to aid in this...
• Secure logon for limited no users - I know I can do this for the back-end but I'll need much simpler front-end interaction for the users. Is there any way to 'tap into' this back-end login/registration/forget password functionality and expose it at the front-end?
• To handle custom reporting, I'm guessing I pass form values (using ajax?) to PHP functions that invoke the PW engine to retrieve certain pages.

In effective, I'm building a simple CRM (can't find a simple-enough commercial one!). Any guidance/assurances on suitability of PW welcome,

Thanks and thanks for the great work input so far on PW,

Kongondo once made a CRUD demo with diogo's admin custom pages module: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3474-admin-custom-pages-module/?p=34425
