<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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>
