Is the w3school the best free place to learn this, or is there other resources you would recommend?Also, I need to be able to print mailing labels, is this possible with an SQL database, or can it be made possible?Thanks for you help.Jake

Thanks for the response.However, you've sparked some questions.What is open source, and what does it mean to manageing or creating a database?Is an SQL database created with just a word processor like html?Is PHP the best way to create and manage a database?Again thanks for the response, and I will read about MySQL.JakeEDIT:Noticed you were from Holland, I'm the first one in my family whose not more than half dutch.

I am working for Non-profit, well not really. My dad sits on the board, and I'm their technical support. My question is the board wants to get their name out through flyers, emails, etc. I've succesfully done this before, however I think my system is rather clumbsy. I had an access database, that I brought into to outlook, from there I exported to word, and was able to print mailing labels. All fine and dandy, but they want to expand their database of members, send email announcments, and mailers monthly. I was wondering is SQL the best option for this?Thank you for any help.Jake
