<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...the only Access "replacement" I'd even spend
time evaluating would have to be free/low cost, OpenSource, and Linux
based, have a heck of a lot more power than a "scripting" language, strong
import/export data abilities, and good merge integration with the OpenOffice or
StarOffice word processors ...otherwise Access is far too strongly embedded in
the real world to make it cost effective to even consider moving clients to
:(</FONT></DIV>
