Here to help!!
As for the log book.....
I am working on making a logbook in MS Access. Using a 'switchboard' to make it sort of interactive.
I will post it up when I get it completed.
I'm not reallly sure of something 'free' that could help you. Sorry.
Cheers
Chris
Edit:
PS. Everything can be free if you know the right places to look!!! (Except Airline5, that you have to buy!)
