Data bases
I'm new on the forums so I'm not sure if this is the right place for this "q"...
I'm a long time PC user, traded them for macs last year and I will never come back... I'm looking for a Data base software that is similar to Microsoft access... I did try the filemaker but seems so limited...
any sugestions???
Thanks a lot

Sounds to me as if you didn't really try FileMaker.
But now that you're free of Access, I'd suggest not locking yourself into the next proprietary database.
