[QUOTE="USS656, post: 189481, member: 6641"]mrbrklyn, Thank for providing the links. For people with little PC experience excel is probably the way to go unless a DB is built for them. Experienced users can navigate a DB without issue where others may see them as overkill and too complex. A database is more powerful and once the structure is set it can be easier to find relevant information - but not as simple as excel is for simple data entry. I have used both MS DBs extensively(Access & SQL Server) and I would still recommend excel for the simple stuff. openoffice would give the general user the excel capability as well as the DB component. Best column descriptions and a meaningful order is what I am looking for. Once I get something setup in excel that I like I will build a DB in access and I will be glad to offer it with a web form for entry and some basic reports to anyone that wants them. Darryl[/QUOTE]
