Hi Mike. It is certainly possible to implement this sort of system using Free software. My first thoughts would be PHP scripted web pages in front of a MySQL database. But the exact implementation obviously depends on what exactly you want. Here's a link to a 'Homework Reporting' project, not that it's directly what you want, but it does show how easy the interface can become. http://www.beaconschool.org/~clehmann/projects/ If you can give some idea on what range of data you want to store, and how you wish to use that data I'm sure that 'we' can point you at something closer to your target Simon Wood
