I've been developing websites in ASP for a while now. I've always use Microsoft servers and Access databases, because of its functionality and because its so easy to use.
Now I have a few clientes that are demanding DB applications in their websites (Users login, catalogs, search engines and so on.). When the sites are hosted on Unix servers, Access databases are not supported. I have to option of MySQL and dBase.

The thing is, I don't know anything about MySQL, and I was wondering if dBase has an easy, user-friendly GUI like MS Access. What I need is basically a software like Access, but for dBase files.

I've succesfully exported some tables from a .mdb file to a .dbf file, but the functionality ends there. I can't create new tables and use some of the advanced features Access has.

I will also like to know if dBASE databases consists on single-file databases, like Access.

Well, as you can see, I'm a newbie when it comes to dBase. If you happen to know of any online resources that may be useful to me, I would appreciate if you told me about them.

I would use MySQL. If you were smart when you were using ASP + Access, you used SQL to do any queries, adds, drops, etc. So switching to MySQL would be a (relatively) simple matter of figuring out how to get started, and there's tons of stuff about that on the web. Google is your friend.
