i guess ms access is fine, if you want to keep it simple.

but you have a lot of other options, too.
there are plenty of databases out there.
most common of them are mysql, and postgres.

to deal with databases, you'd need to learn SQL (structured query language).
these are instructions that help you store and retrieve information from the database

then you'd need to learn another programming language to create your software,
where you can provide a user interface, like a website for example.
for web based applications, you can use php, asp, or other languages.
for your regular software, you can use java, c++, visual basic, etc..

you really have a lot of choices.

Actually, it depends on the client or customer.

Try using Oracle Database XE. It's free. You can download it at oracle.com. It is built on same source of the Oracle Database 10g. And for the UI I suggest java/php maybe.

ACCESS for beginners bai

VISUAL BASIC is a programming language, ACCESS is a database ... it's different... but

VISUAL BASIC can work without ACCESS, ACCESS can work without VISUAL BASIC ...

if you can COMBINE the two then you will come up with a good program...

im not saying necessary jud nga VISUAL BASIC or necessary jud nga ACCESS... it can be more than them

yeah! bling bling men...abz'
