	I am looking for a good PC relational database for a medical
application. Each patient's name, address, phone ... and medical
record number as well as diagnosis make a record.  Any database can
do that much, but here's the catch. I want to be able to relate the
patient's medical record to a spreadsheet of data that can keep expanding.
The spreadsheet will tabulate information collected each time the
patient comes to clinic ( test results for blood counts...). With the
power of the database I can search across patient demographic data
quickly to create reports, labels... and with the related spreadsheet
I can quickly scan the progress of the patient's response to treatment.

	I am new at this stuff, and I've tried to wade through all the 
reviews in mags, but none of the programs I've seen seem to have what I
want. I don't really want to spend the bucks unless I know the program
does what I want, so *any* suggestions and advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.
