Help! Does anyone know of a good database program for Windows 3 that isn't expensive (less than $200) and is easy to use yet powerful!? Something along the lines of Q&A for DOS. Anything available or expected soon?

Anything available or expected soon? I use Q+E which I got for about $99. It is handy for defining (dBase and a few other file formats), displaying, querying and editing databases under win3. Its report generation is simple and it has no real programming capability. I like it because it is simple and quick. However, I am still interested in a product called Superbase2 (a larger version called Superbase4). Superbase2 allows windows graphics to be inserted into the database, and costs around $200. Just recently Borland offered me Paradox for $149 (this is not a windows program) just for being a Borland customer, and I am still amazed at my display of willpower by not buying it. Maybe they'll do a windows versions. Anyone else using a windows database in the range of less than $200, or maybe even $300? * Bruce Benson + Internet - bwb@sei.cmu.edu + + * Software Engineering Institute + Compuserv - 76226,3407 + >--|> * Carnegie Mellon University + Voice - 412 268 8469 + + * Pittsburgh PA 15213-3890 + + US Air Force
