The spreadsheet "tsiag" the console version of siag spreadsheet from the Siag Office Suite might fit your needs, I use it for my bookkeeping applications. It will save your data in a variety of formats and has minimal memory needs. A simple but fast database I use is NoSql, a flat file database which saves data in a tab delimited text file. Your data can be edited with a text editor. hope this helps Mike
