So why didn't you look to solutions in a different area like project 
management software. Most of this software uses databases as well and you can 
connect to it with a gambas programm for special data extraction, which you 
might develop for a longer time. For example easyProject and other open 
source project management software has features to manage the project members 
with address and telefon numbers and the time they are avaliable to the 
project. Further on they  may help you in calculate the costs depending on 
the time they work for the project(parts). You usually have a database 
(usually mySQL - some my favorit PostgreSQL) and of course a webserver like 
apache. All you have to do is to read a little bit about project management, 
configure the software, teach your wife in how to use the software. Of course 
you "abuse" project management software for a different job, but at least and 
as far as I understand your writing correctly, your wife does something like 
managing projects and or parts of a (big) project.

My writing shoudn't scare you from programming with gambas, but it might be a 
quick (perhas not perfect) solution for your problem.

So stay on hacking with gambas
Rolf.
