+1. Very sweet little database that didn't require a CS degree to use! :Thmbsup:
Its newest iteration (Alpha Five v10.5) is still a very capable database product - although it's gotten much more complex (and expensive!) since it's Alpha Four days.

(To be fair, they've gotten almost all of it back with the advent of their CS release. :-* )

Mostly use less these days though (good Windows port here)
