Hello fellow Office Dweebs.
I am amazed at the amount of people that are using a spreadsheet
when (I think) they should be using a database. I'm not real sure
about this but it looks like (to me anyway) most of the questions
from people using Excel, look like the people should be using
Access. I don't understand. It could be that that I have no idea
what I'm talking about because I have never used Excel. I have no
idea "what" to use it for let alone HOW to use it. I "think" it's
good for formulas, as in making Ice cream. So much sugar, so much
milk, so much flavoring etc.
Can someone explain what the difference is between a spreadsheet
and a database? My MAIN question would be; what is it that Excel
can do that Access CAN'T. If someone could answer that one
question, I'd be very happy.
I've always been curious about this but have always been afraid to
show my ignorance.
