I've been dancing around this programming project on and off for years and
I've started work on it again.

I have relatives with a family childcare business. They don't like their
current software which they can't modify and support won't either... sound
familiar?  

The fact is I just don't know where to begin.  I have a very little
experience some years back with MS Access 2.0 but I don't think that will
help me now.  I do have MS Office 2003 Pro with Access, but even if lets say
I use that, after all that work, I can't market it even if it's good enough,
can I?

I would like, in time, to release two families of a product; one for Windows
and a cheaper alternative for those willing to do Linux. Maybe even a mix of
both for those daycares with more than one computer. 

I have VStudio .NET which I've started learning but I don't know how I could
augment it with a small database like what Access has. 

Can you offer some guidance as to which tools to use in either Windows or
Linux? Thanks.
