Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for a simple database program for Windows. I'm hoping 
someone on list uses one or knows of one.

Its main purpose is to help me organize terminology. One of the things I 
do for a living is translate and interpret, so I sometimes need to 
research how something is said. I'd like a no-fuss program I can quickly 
enter new terms, translations, and usage notes into, then use to search 
for terms when I'm preparing for a job. I would use the database for 
other things, like organizing client billing info, recipes, knitting 
patterns.

I use Excel and Word, but either moving to the right location or having 
to sort afterward makes entering new terms less quick and easy than I'd 
like, especially when I'm in the middle of searching for lots of terms 
or in the throes of a translation with a fast approaching deadline. the 
other problem is that searches get slower as the glossary grows.

I don't have Access, and I don't want to buy it because it seems too 
much program for my needs. I tried some databases a few years ago, and 
they were not very accessible. I'm thinking of trying again, but I 
thought I'd post here first, to save myself some trial and error.

any suggestions?

Ciao
