Recommended database for small business
Hello Experts,
I am thinking of designing a database with a simple front end for a small gym that I go to. The gym has around 200 members, give or take. They have Microsoft Works, not sure if they have Microsoft Access. I checked the computer they have at their front end and that is all I found, Works. I was wondering if anyone out there new the capacity of Works? I have worked with Access extensively, but have never even opened Works. I have also worked with PHP and MySQL. Was wondering if there are other solutions out there that I could try out? The system the gym has is Windows Vista with Works installed. We are trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. Thanks!
