OT: give advice to MSAccess user

[Duncan Lithgow]

All advice received - let's look at postgreSQL instead. From the links
people have posted the most interesting looks like
http://www.hipergate.org/ which is a 'customer relationship
manager' (urgg!)

It looks very powerful and developed - however it's way overkill for
what I want. I wouldn't mine writing my own front end- except I can't
and have trouble believing that someone else hasn't made one as a simple
'contact database' with basic functions like making labels for envelopes
- I start to wonder if I might be going for overkill even talking about
using a database. Maybe I should just stick to a spreadsheet?
