Desperately in need of a Database app....

["Person, Rod" <RPerson@cvty.com>]

Hey All,

I am looking for recommendations on a database. Nothing extravagant it
mainly for home use right now. I'm looking for something to use in X
along the lines of Access of Claris' db (I always forget the name - and
I actually prefer this to Access...)

All day I program a database for a health insurance company (using
Access). I'd like to be able to go home and have good db for my own use.
I'm starting a home business so I need it for tracking orders and
inventory and the like. I need a good Spreadsheet too. I tried Siag
Office but I can't get that compiled. And since my modem is rather slow
I can't download Star Office....I think it would take me 20+
hours....Any recommendations....
