Database software

[AJJA17]

Hi All,

PC running Win2000 Director 8.5

Having read a number of threads concerning databases using V12, Valentina or ADO Xtra I am currently considering the purchase of Valentina.
The main reason is (from what I have read) that Valentina requires less scripting than V12 and may well be faster.
I have downloaded the trial version and found that although there are examples and a reference, it assumes some previous knowledge of databses from the user.
I need to read and search an MS Access database of about 60Mb from CD rom. I needs only to be read, not changed and no new entries need to be made.
If anyone has experience of this programme I would be grateful for any suggestions.
If anyone believes one of the other products available would be better suited to the task, please let me know.

Regards
AJJA17

if you're after a program that handles access databases, but only have a limited knowledge of programming, then try coldfusion..the lastest version is mx.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I had not considered coldfusion for this task. I did visit the Macromedia site following your suggestion but quickly discounted the option when I saw the price tag.
