Hi, For a desktop database, I would go for dBase files. Before everyone starts screaming for SQLite, let me explain my reasoning: it is an open format - just about every spreadsheet can read/write to it.no cumbersome SQL to learn for end users.. nearly plug an play reasonable performance small number of files : 1 for the table and 1 for each index tiny memory/resource requirements no need to run a daemon hope this helps Jason L.
