We use Microsoft's Access and thus far have been pleased with the results.
I've been told by at least one Paradox user, though, that they find the
newer versions of Paradox more open-ended in terms of the program's
structure and the types of analyses they can conduct.  I can't say one way
or the other on this.  So far Access has done what we have asked it to do,
though by strong analytical standards we have not pushed it too hard.
 
Hope this helps.
