As an alternative, you may want to set up a MySQL database if you
have a web server available. We made the move from Access for our
memorial database several years ago for ease of input by staff and
ease of integrating the search mechanism into our website. It's more
work to set it up on the admin side, but there are no licenses
involved and no fees. You'll also need PHP to run it and I use
PHPadmin to manage the backend. Ours is running on a Windows server.<br>

<div>I am not familiar with Microsoft products. Do I need to
purchase a license (CAL?) for any machine that is going to
access the data? do I need to purchase a server version of the
software? There is a reference to "Sharepoint" in the
literature.</div>
