Even nicer if it can read MS Access files, which makes migration a lot easier.
Access is a proprietary format. I doubt forms/queries/reports will ever be transferable because of the different document models each application uses. But It's easy to exchange data and structures using ODBC/SQL. All decent databases support it.
As does Word, Excel & PowerPoint. Being able to import "legarcy data" in an easy way is important. Especially when dealing with teachers and teenagers. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
