I think a variation on this theme will work well. I will start coding the backend of a small database (e.g. stockroom)
withpostgres, to learn how it works. At the moment I am a bit scared at the magnitude of the task, so a small database
willgive me opportunity to experiment with types etc. As I have questions, I will ask here. 

I will then experiment with various front ends. One of which will be dabo, as Glenn suggests. Meanwhile maybe someone
herewill offer up a holy grail I hadn't thought of. 

If nothing else is suitable, I will continue with access - either 97 or 2003. I do like the pivot table/chart feature
thatit has, that functionality would be excellent for dabo to emulate. 

Thanks for all the help, and if anyone has more thoughts on this topic I am all ears. I think I will formulate some
questionsas to the first part of my project in another email. 

Cheers,
