Mysql is the right tool for ya. There exist some nice GUIs for it, i always recommend "phpMyAdmin". To make it run u need to install php and a webserver. Sounds more complicated than it is. And if ya do it u will have a complete System (with linux often called LAMP - Linux Apache Mysql Php). These components work together just fine. And using phpMyAdmin will give u the freedom to create tables, fill them, work with them and all that stuff just using ur mouse without knowing anything about the actual sql-syntax. Give it a try, u will love a apache-mysql-php system once u installed it succesfully :) Bernd -- [Zufallssig 2] Microsoft isn't the answer.
