Not entirely sure whether someone can help me in this forum, but I am trying to locate a database program, to keep a database but with a search/filter function in it.
I.e. I need to put in 'alot' of data but need to be able to find an entry with the help of a filter.
I have used Excel before but didn't like it, nor find it userfriendly for my purpose.
Does anyone know of such a database program?
Thanks for your feedback.

Why not use MySQL ? it's free and has a lot of possibility, it can be used with PHP to keep a good interface.
There is MS Access too.
Goodbye.

You can always use the desktop engine of SQL server as well, MSDE, if the data set isn't going to be huge.

MS Access is the best single user database on the market, especially if you grab a newer version like 2002 (aka XP) or 2003.
The built in form wizards will make it a breeze for non DB guys to create their own DB.
MySQL is a horrible choice for this example.

Thanks for your suggestions, had a look already at the MySQL site, but haven't downloaded it yet, looks possibly complicated.
Re: MS Accesss - will now have a look at that option.
Had anybody got any good/bad experience with using the database within Outlook??
