My previous concern about having a user friendly database was addressed though not to complete satisfaction and I thank those who responded. Open Office looks like it may eventually work for me
I missed that thread, but I can heartily recommend Rekall coupled with an SQL backend (SuSE supply MySQL and postgreSQL - use whichever you like). Rekall has recently been GPLed and is available to download from http://www.rekallrevealed.org/ and as precompiled binaries from http://www.totalrekall.co.uk/. It has very good form and report creation tools, including a new wizard-style thing to get you started. There are still a few rough edges, but it's extremely usable and continues to improve.
