"Doesn't Work for Me"
Version: FileAmigo LE 7.3.176
Pros
If I could get it to work I might have some
Cons
It won't work, just says FileAmigo has stopped working and because the free program doesn't come with support I have had to uninstall it.
Summary
FileAmigo sales staff is working with me to resolve my problem of the program shutting down. They're very helpful but no luck yet.

"Unbelievably good! I am delighted with it."
Version: FileAmigo LE 7.3.176
Pros
It's free, and it's simple to use. Lots of Help files if you need them. I created a template in a few minutes, and then it took just seconds to import the contents of an old MS Works database - FileAmigo is more sophisticated than that ever was.
Cons
No Cons yet. It took a lot of finding - it's a great pity it doesn't come up when you do a search for "database" on download.com
Summary
If you want an easy-to-use database with loads of features, and most of the free ones frighten you off because they are too technical for you, then look no further, you won't find better than this.
Found one big drawback - no matter how I try, it ignores the column widths I specify when I create a file. It always makes them much wider than I want, which is annoying. It's a shame because it's a good app otherwise.

"brilliant, how come no one thought of it like this."
Version: FileAmigo LE 7.3.176
Pros
Adding for each record, the type of data I like to enter every time. Then automatically show up in a form without me putting them there.
Also the preview of the whole info in html with attachments that I have added previously.Cons
I wish there was a way, instead of directlng the file location by hand, that it would take the drag drop function. it would save time. Also it takes the file, renames it and dump it in fileamigo folder. There was no order to the content directory.
Summary
I like the idea of having the database premade. all you have to do is tell it what you want. If I were to install Microsoft Access, I could have done all that on my own, but my database would not run independently without Office. Also, the premade functions like file option, The prog asks for the file location then adds it to your database. This is crazy, and absolutly nice. The systems shows you that you are not limited to text. The date record adding support is perfect.
Even better, you can change anything in your database at any time. That is the most PRO prog.
The only problem is that it doesn't take drag and drop. Also i can't double click a record to have it open for editing. Also there should be a button on every form to add subdata information which i already configured for data entry. Right clicking is monotonous in this application.
