Thanks everyone for helping with this! I didn't know the first thing about databases but with your help, some reading and many hours of keyboard time, I ended up using mysql on a mac-mini. I must say...this program does rock! Did you ever just get darn proud of getting something working? very cool...the problem is find cooler to add and I don't finish the details of the last feature I was working on...I have to set deadlines for myself.

I using Navicat to make MySQL a bit easier to work with (there's free tools but I'm green enough). I had to work out some firewall issues and VPN stuff causing error msgs but got past that (I work for Cisco and there's no shortage of folks around to help with that!) I saw Trevor's stack but I stuck with standard SQL code in RunRev. So far, I'm just using SELECT/WHERE, ADD, DELETE, UPDATE/SET. The rest of the work of editing, searching, etc is done via RunRev once I have the data from the table. RunRev does all of the heavy lifting.

Thanks again folks !! You are very helpful. I hope I can give back to this list some day,
Jim

Normally I would say altSQLite would be a great choice for this app,


Are you sure about this.?

I was under the impression that altSQLite ( I guess soon to be revSQLite) is an embedded 'single instance' database. How would you propose to handle the
multi-user networked environment that Jim mentioned?

Just wondering if there is more to altSQLite than I understand.

Waiting for 2.7.5 and altSQLite might not get Jim any closer to a
solution:-)
