    InnoList vs Microsoft Office Access Comments

    As its name suggests, it just does fancy lists. No easy calculated fields, no reporting, no query builder, no data views, etc. Just fancy lists. Data entry is one field at a time that it then has to save to the file one field at a time. this makes data entry slow and cumbersome.
