I use Filemaker. I find it pretty easy to learn and use, and there's a passionate support community. Scripting can be both very powerful and simple. I use it to run our reporting system... it's load-tolerant and easily networkable (even without using Filemaker Server). It's simple to put databases online too. <br><br>With Filemaker Advanced you can create executable versions of the database that can be distributed and run without users having to install Filemaker itself.<br><br>Transitioning from Access will involve a few 'cultural' changes (e.g. the concept of found and omitted records, calculated fields being defined along with the other fields, layouts, portals to show related records from other tables).<br><br>It's available on the Software 4 Education program (state govt schools) for $99 per licence (and you only need to buy one licence for each concurrent user, not one licence per PC installation.)<br><br>Oh, and it now does graphs.<br><br>Regards<br>Mark<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>On 1 December 2011 10:15, James Heath <<a href="mailto:jamesaheath@yahoo.com.au">jamesaheath@yahoo.com.au</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>Good Morning,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>Require your thoughts on database software.
