Jumping on the bandwagon, can I expand the question to something more
general. I have a requirement to build a system which would
most 'easily' be developed in MS tools (Access, VB, etc.) as
integration with MS Word and Outlook are high on the feature list.

I'd rather not go that way and am looking at using Python + window
toolkit for the front end and would like any help or pointers for which
database I could use (must be Windows I'm afraid) as the back end.
Also, any pointers on interfacing with MS Word/Outlook/Excel would be
most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Andy
