I purchased this product just because I was getting so frustrated trying to learn Access and since it was so cheap just thought I'd see what it was like. I was pleasantly surprised.

This DB doesn't pretent to be anything it is not, but for limited needs it does them quite well. You can have only one data entry form in your DB and one table linked to it. The reports come ready made, but are only customizable within a given framework.

I was quite impressed that I could import scanned images into the forms area and use them. I work with a lot of forms and have found this feature very useful and it is saving me time every day. The templates that it has set up for you are useful for a wide array of basic functionality: cataloguing for hobbies, address book, etc. You can also import data from an excel spreadsheet. I did this and with a little care to name the fields correctly I had transformed my spreadsheet into a very useful DB in no time.

Another feature lacking is the ability to create graphs from your data. However, if you have a spreadsheet you can also export it to the spreadsheet and creat graphs that way...

In short, this appears to be the best DB for the $$. It does the basics very well. While I spent days trying to set up a useful program in access to no avail, I had this up and running in no time. If you have a vast complicated DB in mind you want to create, this may not do it for you, but if you want a lot of simple data organized with search, sort capabilities, ability to create forms, and make some basic reports, this is for you.

My database,is one of the most powerful,yet simple to used software titles,I have used to date.

You can custom design your own database.
You can do calculations with the database fields,and make it data for another field.

You can change you backgrounds,and and pictures to highlight important fields.

You can output your info in a variety of ways,directly from the data base view screen,to reports,or customized form outputs.

I use this program,to organize my personal songs,I make on my computer.

There are now flow charts or graphics,but overall I loved this program.

I use "Access" occasionally and have to go through a learning curve each time because I do not use it enough. Mydatabase is better than I had expected overall. It has quite a few features including form layouts and good search functions. I used it to create an order form for several hundred customers and it was pretty slick. It should serve most users well that do not need the power of an "Access".

I ordered this to help me keep track of episodes while making dvd's and to catalog my finished dvd's. It works great for that, and I am also planning on using it for other purposes. It isn't fancy and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it is easy to use, and does the job. I also scanned for spyware, and found NONE. I highly recommend this database for home use.

...this happened for no reason. There was nothing wrong with my computer at the time (or ever, really). I save my changes regularly while working. When I logged in one day, only my titles were available. All of my work for each file was ...missing!?!? There was just blank space where all of my work was. So infuriating.

I installed this and used it for a little while thinking it was OK. It is easy but it's also really limited. Then just this evening I realized that it contains copious amounts of Spyware. I ran adaware (a untility that removes Spyware) and it found over 30 items. I'm ticked to say the least.
