Watch what you get yourself into. This may blow up into something that could get you a grant or full-time work if people high up see the value of it.

Make sure you find some software that will scale well and program to that end. You never know, if you retain the rights, you could even sell it to other companies and make a small fortune out of it. =)
That's what I was hoping for. Alas, the guy flaked out the instant I asked him to give me a detailed specification document of what the program needed to be able to do. Something about his boss being sick, and then it became that he was busy.. etc. I'm done with the project, but thank you guys for your tips. I'll definitely remember these later if I come across a similar database project.
