actually, i wasn't promoting SQL Server or any other large scale SQL
database system. that probably exceeds the needs of this application. In
this instance, I think any desktop relational database application will do.
I prefer Access over any others that are out there.
Also, if Access was a bit too difficult for someone to get started in, I
would definitely recommend that they not try and mess around with something
Oracle or SQL Server. although both systems have become more user friendly,
neither are for the faint of heart or novice database user.
when i referred to SQL is was generally referring to a database that uses
Structured Query Language. which could include any of the above mentioned
products as well as a host of others. Sorry about any confusion it may have
caused, sometimes my mind gets ahead of my typing...
cheers,
gary

Kajal,
I agree with Gary Accord's response in that SQL may be
a good way to go. Personnaly I like Oracle, a free
copy of there 9i can be found at
http://technet.oracle.com/software/content.html, but I
highly reccomend nothing slower than a cable modem,
dial-up can take all day (10 hours plus).
SQL offers an ability to control your database and
manipulate it much more than Access (although I am not
Access-bashing here, its a good tool as well).
