Iolaire, I would take a look at the SQL language to query databases and
the ADODB interface, so you have to learn once, but can use this time
an access database, later for more wider projects a mySQL or MSSQL
server, without changing a huge pack of code lines. If you have
questions regarding these two themes, feel free to ask.
