Well, since I've been retired for over a decade, I do all my database development pro bono for worthy non-profit organizations, so it's not as if I'd be throwing away any money, but in some ways that makes it harder, because I feel I've let this group of good folx down by not being able to meet their actual data needs. OTOH, what they're asking for is a horrendous amount of work, even if it would be something I enjoyed (as I normally DO enjoy building FMP databases), and I suspect they'll spend the next 5 years kicking themselves over the limitations of the system they're moving into. This is very frustrating.
