- I've been looking at various database apps that would allow transparent
- linking (through built-in modules or DDE) of data to spreadsheets.
- Access, because of its Access Basic comes reasonably close to it. (oh,
- yes, ability to distribute everything as standalones or with
- distrribution kit is a must, too, as is native networking capabilities).
- Does anyone have a suggestion? Below $gadzillion.00?
