Question

I have managed my offers, customers and invoices with Microsoft Access for years. Recently I upgraded from my very old version to Office 2013 Home and Business, which does not include Microsoft Access any more.

Since I need MS Access only for this one task, I think it should be possible to replace it. The application must

Store customers with
customer ID
address
email address
Store offers with
offer ID
customer ID (foreign key)
date
valid until date
Store invoices with
invoice ID
customer ID (Foreign key)
delivery date
invoice date
due date
payment status
Store offers and invoices with
Several lines: text, amount, per item price
Calculate the total price per line
Calculate the total price per offer
Calculate the total VAT per offer in 2 rates (reduced rate and standard rate)
Export single invoice / single offer to XML
Export complete data into standard file format (XML / CSV) in case I need to replace the application later
Keep the data local
Provide basic security (password protection)

From the solutions I've seen so far, I have to say that I don't like the existing CRM tools because they offer too many features that I don't need. I really need it simple and stupid. I don't want

PDF generation - I use Latex to generate the invoice PDFs. That's why I need the XML export
Anything web-based - this is too much security risk and I have a bad Internet connection
SQL-based solutions - keep it small and simple
Multiuser operation - since I'm the only user
Project management features - done in other application
Employee management - I'm the only employee
Calendars - I use Thunderbird + Lightning
Sending emails - I use Thunderbird
Payment management / connection to any bank account
Forecasts
Reporting
Marketing features
Document templates
Workflow tracking
Document management
Service / Repair / Maintenance tracking
Support ticket management
Bug tracking
Requirements Engineering features

I have tried:

looking for a suitable CRM tool online, but all of them seem web-based or have 10+ features that I don't need.
Excel, but it's hard to keep the data separated

Price: 50

Explanation / Answer

Until someone writes better answer, I would say that we offer such a system with all these features (and without most features from your 'don't need this' list) but I can't be delivered at given price. But maybe someone posts the answer...

My points are:

reagrding "no SQL-based solution"
