It depends on the content of your database.  If the fields are just single lines then you can follow the current fashion and use a spreadsheet on the desktop.  Just export your data as a text file (preferred extension .csv) and a spreadsheet like Excel will happily import it.

I found the Works database a good counterpart to EPOC Data as that can import and export .CSV files too.  But in both cases you'll have to refrain from putting formatting into your database fields - including carriage returns.
