I used to love using its predecessor -- an even earlier version than this -- back in the day.
I highly recommend Filemaker Pro. Easy as pie, understandable, and affordable. You can buy an older copy for about $100 if you look around.
If you aren’t into the nuts and bolts, this has a small learning curve and huge upside as you learn more.
Ah. Didn’t see your price restriction. Heck, you could probably get Filemaker on Ebay for small money.
