Re: “As for BASE . . . I really don't have a need for it.”
I learned Access this year. I became "good enough" anyway to create the media database I needed. I also wrote and inserted a small Visual Basic script to check, whenever I entered a new book title, whether it's already in the system. If found, the script tells me how many times it was found so I can tag the current one as being, for instance, copy #4. It works like a charm.

The point is, I'd have majorly struggled with this small database if I hadn't bought a really good text that walked me, a novice, through the construction of something similar. In fact, it was a FOR DUMMIES book - of which I'm now a huge fan.

Good luck finding "really good texts" for BASE. I doubt they exist.

Also, if you think learning a database is comparable in difficulty to learning Excel or Word, think again. Access was *MUCH* harder.
