Hi Will,

I use Access (actually, Access '97 - Yep, it's that old  ;-]  )

I found it fairly simple to construct a basic database that served my modest
needs.  Setting up the company, entering fields, etc. - all pretty intuitive
even before the hindsight.  This past year, a good friend of mine who's
profession is as a software developer and who has a much more comprehensive
grasp of Accesses capabilities - tweaked my DB for me and made much more
user friendly.

I was operating quite well for a number of years prior to that, but it is
now much more elegant.  I'd say that is the greatest foible of Access -
having a comprehensive enough understanding to make your DB elegant, rather
than just functional.  I've had no operational difficulties otherwise.
