Re: database for personal use;advice please
you have a few options
1. learn to use micosoft access (heavy stuff)
2. better option if you have a handheld/pda is to download time limited demo from handbase.com, this way you will have record n your computer as well as in your pocket. it is a good program with plenty of free medical templates but you need to buy the program for $25-$30.

The best software for this purpose is MsAccess or "Patient Tracking Software". MsAccess is very easy to learn and with few clicks you can create a powerful database software capable to reporting as well.
Patient tracking software is a built in system for the patient database. Visit :

I hope this helps.
