[mso] A query.




Been too quiet.

Imagine that you have a list with multiple entries.
(Account problem)
You have a name/company (actually 15000) that may have several different
types of account against them. Each name will have an address, telephone
number, contact, account handler etc etc.
If you imagine a bank and all their accounts.

If all this was entered into an Excel spreadsheet (what is the maximum you
can enter into a spreadsheet by the way ?)
What would be the easiest way to extract information (I was thinking of
just using the filters or using pivot tables) ?
My experience with Access is limited (when I used it had a tendency to fall
over - mind you, that was quite a while ago) and i would be more inclined
to using SQL. I can do that but I need to make this "idiot-proof" and one
thing that I haven't got experience with is marrying SQL with a query box
(Excel) or to a bespoke query box (as in one you would find on a webpage) I
have always written "straight language queries", but I assume that a macro
could solve that.

I believe that I can get there but if anyone has a good idea - or two - I
would be happy to incorporate those in my work.

In advance thanks for your time and efforts.
