Sorry Sharif, AKA is a great tool and we use it ourselves, but it does
thesauruses and thesauruses linked to disposal schedules, not full RM. It is
based on Access, so it does serve as a good example of what you can do with
Access, but it's not full RM.

Access needs professional IT skills, and an underlying database such as
Oracle, to make it do groovy things, and it is better suited to numerical
data rather than text. For something more suited to manipulating text, which
you can muck around with yourself without needing an Oracle DBA or an SQL
programmer, look at inMagic dbtext http://www.inmagic.com/index.html.

If you must look at something at the desktop / office level, I'd much rather
use Filemaker Pro http://www.filemaker.com/, there have been several
commercial library systems built on it, and it's MUCH easier to use than
Access.

Cheers

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked
and they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Harry Peck and Co and
Glenn". Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
