Database for a Desktop?

Renegade:
Unfortunately, unless the 'much less' is $300 or less, I'll have to do without.  The perils of full time employment vs contracting.  When I was contracting, money wasn't really an object for development tools.  Now, doing it on the side, it's a lot bigger obstacle, unfortunately.

Email them and see what they say. Point them back here maybe? Dunno... Worth a shot anyways. Maybe you can work out a deal.

hamradio pointed this one out to me yesterday in IRC. That said, I don't know anything about it or even if it will work for what you want.

Looks like something that might be interesting for setting up a KB type database for a small group of users.

Does anybody know what fieldtypes are available in Grubba? The website isn't particularly helpful when it comes to specifics. And there doesn't seem to be a wiki or documentation available.

That's a deal killer a lot of the time. For me anyways.

I'd rather spend a few hundred dollars and get documentation and samples so that I can focus on getting things done, rather than spend a week or two trying to wrap my brain around something that may or may not be what I want/need.

For SDK and components, the product in many ways *IS* the documentation/samples.
