Hi faradaykeynes,
Try out postgresql, THE open source sql database of the internet. You'll find plenty of specialists that know it and products that integrate with it. It replaced mySql as the star of the internet since that got acquired by Oracle.
Good luck
Frans

What are you looking for in terms of 'design' - are your looking for an ER modelling tool?

Hehe, I interpreted the OP in the same way, I don't know why people are recommending databases when the OP seems to be asking for a design tool.

There are loads of modeling tools out there.

Here is a comparison of some of the more mainstream tools:

The person has tried access and is an accountant. Do you think he's looking for a ER design tool?

Possibly, I've seen people do that before, in access. If someone says design tool, I shall assume design tool unless they state otherwise.

If you're looking for something like Access, and without the learning curve of programming in a full blown language like vb.net/C#, have a look at an application called Filemaker.

Its not "cheap" though. It will cost you a couple of hundred at least, whereas, other options like SQL Server Express / MySQL etc are free, but, as said, you might pay in the time it takes you to learn the software.

Another vote for filemaker, I have only played with it a little bit, but it looks very good for what you want.

Handbase is an old product that was around when the palm pilot PDA's were popular. I would worry about how up to date/supported it is as all the screenshots show it running on XP which is pretty dated now.

That said I guess if it does what you need go for it!
