New A possibly more appropriate alternative for you
[link|http://www.ag-software.com/sqlite.aspx|http://www.ag-software.com/sqlite.aspx]

Its database is even worse than Microsoft Access, but it is free, setup is loads easier (even easier than MySQL), it doesn't require configuring a database server etc, and it can be stuck in proprietary products without worrying about license issues.

Cheers,
Ben

New Thanks I will research it
I had an idea to create VB apps with a UDL file that can be set to access a certain different types of databases. Then create SQL code for each database and access them via Case statements to select the right SQL query to use. Store the type of database used in a global variable and use that to select the connection, the SQL statements, cursors used, etc. That way the user can start out with one database, migrate to another, set a switch and change a UDL file and start using a more powerful database. I might even put in code to do the migration for them. :)

I usually avoid being a grammar/spelling pedant, but you clearly misspelled “should be shot into the sun.”
