mendipjohn Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hi there,I use MS Office Access presently but I am using a Student and Teacher license which prevents me using the software (legally) for commercial use. That means I am looking for a database application to use on a commercial basis. All i need is a relatively simple relational database application, preferably reliable, quite cheap, not to tacky and with low system requirements.I wasnt convinced by anything I found doing a web search so I just wondered if anyone here had any ideas or special recommendations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 wow that sucks, access is amazing, if u can afford it then get office 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have been meaning to try OpenOffice Base. Seems about equivalent to Access. If you try it please report your findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mendipjohn Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks guys,I have used MySQL but only on servers for powering internet boards etc and I really find myself out of my depth trying to manage it.The OpenOffice Base looks great, and I already use OpenOffice Suite for other purposes and the interface is similar to Access. Just working out how to download it now Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
