Access will be ideal for the scenario you describe.
The Access 2003 file format is documented to have:
'Provision for unknown properties and objects that might exist in future
versions of Access' and an 'Improved storage format'.
People that have been developing with Access for many years will probably
tell you that Access 97 was the most stable...but I have been using 2003 for
a few years now without problems.

SQL Server will be ideal for the scenario you describe.
SQL Server 2000 aka MSDE SP4-- these are great database engines.
just don't try to run them on vista
and use Access Data Projects-- these are-- long term-- worth an extra
hour or two in research and development
I mean-- do you want a reliable database; or something that acts up
once a week?

Thanks for your replies. I will probably use Access 2003 for now and
see how it goes in Beta testing. I would like to have other options
but I still have not learnt enough of them yet.
btw I think usenet is brill!!
