No. Absolutely NOT.

Would you use a graphics program to make a number calculation?

You need a database. Period. Don't even think about it.

Excel is a spreadsheet program. Great for pivot type tables but nothing =
else. Anything Excel can do, Access can do better.

Hello everyone,

Conceptual question;

Would you use a spreadsheet program (i.e., excel) to track data such as:
1) Activities
2) Department
3) Vehicles
4) Miles Driven
5) Fuel Used

Information needed is:
1) MilesDriven PER Activity
2) MilesDriven PER Activity PER Month
3) MilesDriven PER Acidity PER Year
4) MilesDriven PER Vehicle

Printed reports will be needed.  Protecting the application from the =
User
will also be needed.  Ease of use is important also.  User is not very
computer literate.


I am being advised to use a spreadsheet but whenever I lay things out a
database seems a better fit.
