Wondering what is recommended for apps needing a local db. Apart from an
Access DB are there any others out there that work on Win9x through Win XP?
I know I could save recordsets directly to the hard drive but I am looking
for any engines that support multiple tables and queries using SQL.

The cheaper the better as this is a personal project.

Thanks...

How about FREE? ;-)

You can use MSDE (SQL Server Desktop Edition) which will install and
run on all 32bit Windows platforms.

HTH,

I thought about that... It will run on Win9x systems with no issues?

It's supposed to :)

Also, I'd consider using XML as simple data storage.
