SQL? Once the database is written it's then a (relatively) simple matter of writing the web and/or local interface. In fact there's no reason a web front-end couldn't be used locally anyway and kill two birds with one stone. I'd suggest PHP for that (not that I've used it personally) or ASP (which I have). Of the two I suspect PHP has more expertise to help here.I used to create databases for small companies, so I could write one myself if there were a suitable program in Linux. Sadly there is no Linux equivalent of Borland Paradox or MS Access yet. Yes, I know about Kexi, OO Base etc, but they are not yet as good as the Windows databases were 20 years ago. In fact I wrote a database for a local restaurant, when I lived in Bristol, which the owner wanted for exactly the same purpose. He had his recipes on bits of paper all over the place and he wanted a database to store them and to print them out as necessary. That was in fact the last database that I set up before moving to Devon. Neil
