[mso] Re: Excel spreadsheet to Access database

Linda,

Many of the users out there are not very cognizant on the procedures to 
do a search like that, with Access you can create a search routine, and 
have the end user fill in or select from a pulldown and execute the 
search, though I've created spreadsheets with that capablility the 
database is much cleaner looking accomplishing the task.
