Blah blah to you sir! Seriously, you can do some nice work with Access, 
especially if you know VBA. Unfortunately, Access gets really slow if more 
than a few people are using it over the network, but it's still doable. 
Anyway, my point is that Doug can do it without changing the tables. Just 
use VBA.

Access is also a $400 per-user solution if you consider the cost of Office 
XP Pro. There is a way to pump out Access-based applications that aren't 
modifiable, and I don't think the end-user needs an Office XP license to 
use it. I can't remember how the licensing on that works exactly though.
