I recommend using MS SQL 7, or any other high-end database. I started with MS Access
and wanted to upgrade later. But I wished that I had start with MSSQL from start.
Because its not so hard to install/configure and I had problems converting from MS
access to MSSQL.
I also use a customized table for user authenication that contains other fields than
the imail ones. It works fine, I dont think you can seperate the imail table into two
tables without modifying the imail DLL that talks to the SQL server.
