This is one of those "someone who reads this blog will have a suggestion" queries…
Years ago, in the simpler era of the DOS operating system, I used a couple of simple database programs on my computer. For a time, I employed one called Nutshell. Later, when DOS became more sophisticated and Nutshell didn't, I moved to one called Alpha Four. These were not fancy but I didn't need fancy. Just needed to enter data, sort it and print it out.
In time, database programs got fancier and came to involve all sorts of bells, whistles and sirens. Alpha Four became Alpha Five and in so doing, became so complicated that I figured I might as well move onto Microsoft Access…which I did, following a brief detour through Filemaker Pro. These programs were all more complicated and full-featured…but truth to tell, for about 80% of my databasing, Nutshell and Alpha Four were jes' fine. I'd like to find something like them that runs under Windows XP.
Anyone have a nominee? I just need to be able to define fields, enter data, sort on any field, print out data and, of course, be able to export and import. Drop me a note if you have an idea. Thanks.
