I already have access (ha!) to Filemaker Pro, and while I’m sure it’s great and all, it’s complete overkill for my needs – a game database. Access was too, actually, but I had no alternative way back in ’99 when I originally set it up. Bento is perfect as it completely replicates everything I use my current Access database for, and although, as you say, FMP can be had for less than ¬£100, it can’t be had for ¬£25.

Actually, if I wanted to do anything more complicated than what Bento will allow, I’d be using MySQL locally anyway.
