Hi Andrew, I use it for personal finance and also for keeping a log of my contacts in when I use my radio as I am a ham radio person.

Hi Andrew So, Excel can be used as a database as well as a spread-sheet - good news indeed, as I use Excel for doing many calculations. How could I create a database with all my family and friends birthdays in it and ask it to produce a list for me of all the birthdays in April? I have Excel 2007 (I think). Using Windows XP.

I've been using Microsoft Excel, If you know what you want to use it for it is quite accessible with Jaws. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2010 4:51 PM Subject: [access-uk] A simple Database? Hi All The chat about an accounts package was very useful. Now does anyone use a database with Jaws? Is there anything far less complex and cheaper than Microsoft Access?
