[QUOTE="Sawday, post: 1060940, member: 22882"] For just 400 records I'd use a spreadsheet. Hardly any learning curve; name and address fields can be used directly by your wordprocessor for mailmerge/labels; it, or portions of it; can be readily exported and read by others; sorting and tabular reports are a doddle and it could be free - see NeoOffice or Open Office if you don't already have Numbers. One tip - just make sure that every item of data (First name, Last name, Address line 1, Address Line 2, Town, Postcode..) are in their own column. Oh, (OK second tip) and save regularly during data entry and manipulation, particularly before sorting. [/QUOTE]
