The size would be approx 350,000 entries in mulitiple tables which is destined for the web and will be able to be searched by anyone. I happen to have access 97 but being knew to this there may be a different program with more flexibility. I have no programming background and can't afford to hire someone now. I can learn to use access 97 so can I use this for data entry and then convert the database later? Or try starting on a better foot?	Guest (0)
