I've used Access for about one year for my Welte-rolls database with
about 6000 entries.  The database ran originally on an Atari 10 years
ago and the data has survived four different computer-systems.  The
performance is very good (of course dependent upon the hardware used),
and will surely manage 10000 or more entries as it is now.

I could send you an empty database for a trial by ftp or diskette, any
smaller changes will be no problem, if not too sophisticated, this
will become a time problem.  In any case I would have to translate a
few things.
