Was thinking of setting up a database and then found my PC didn't have Access installed.

Just looked and it costs about £200 to buy!!!!!!!!

Are there any cheaper options that anyone knows about?

Thanks.

second for MySQL.
Or if you can find it the free version of SQL Server 2005.
Far better than Access which is a micky mouse database any way.

Not quite the same though is it?

Access is great for what it is. Simple and quick to knock up a decent little database.
OpenOffice Base is somewhat similar and free.
