There is some irony and inappropriateness there :) A bit like our local
bank insisting that the local Mac shop use Sage Accounting, for which
there is no UK Mac version. How do you best support the Mac and promote
the Mac in business when you have to keep a PC on the premises just to
run the business.
That said, John, your Access database looks rather spiffy. It's tidy
and quick and might be a good interim solution. The mySQL option is
most attractive to me because of the ability to run it (for free) on my
own Mac OS X box hosted off my broadband. FileMaker costs a bit too
much money for my uses and Access would mean buying a PC!!! so it's WAY
too costly.
The best bet, in my opinion, might be for people to look at things like
phpGroupWare. It is, for the most part, plug and play.

You need PHP and mySQL but it's easy to set up:

P.S. You do seem to have a dead link:
