Hi terry433iid,

Is the database you have a SQL Server database? If so, why not simply
use the default SQL Server ui (Enterprise Manager for 2000 and
Management Studio for 2005)?

I guess as an alternative you could use something like MS Access to
connect to the DB. This allows you to manage the tables directly, and
also makes it very easy to develop basic forms for managing your data
(I'm assuming that your db is pretty small, so performance is not
really an issue).

Good luck!
