Right, had a play with Anthony's suggestion and it is brilliant, just what I needed. A lot easier than I remember MS Access being.
Two questions, rather than use 0.0.0.0 should I set a fixed IP and connect to that one, like 192.168.1.66 as 0.0.0.0 might be exposed externally? Also the photo upload is immense, that really is a killer! Does it handle PDF's or is there another command for those, also I will need to upload .doc files, do they just upload as a file. This has been a revelation to me and I will continue to explore web2py for other database use. Many thanks to all. Jim.
