Do not respond to this nymshifting troll.
Brian said:What type of data do you want to put in your database. The program
you can use is Microsoft access.
darlene said:microsoft data base
Brian said:Go to www.microsoft.com and search for access and it will take you
to a free demo on how to use access

An alternative to Microsoft Access is Microsoft Excel. Do you have
either?
Bruce said:Er.... Excel is a spreadsheet application, designed for crunching
numbers and financial data. It's not even close to being a database
application.
Bruce
Please reconsider your statement. It may not be as sophisticated as
Microsoft Access but it is a database application.

Bruce said:It takes a lot more than pivot tables to make a database. Excel
doesn't come close to even the long defunct DataStar or dBase3 in
terms of database capabilities.
Bruce
So you concede that Excel is a database?
I guess that raises the question as to whether or not a spreadsheet
(like Excel) is a database or not. In some sense, it sure can be
seen that way: i.e, as a "database" of numeric data. But I don't
think that's the most conventional use of the term "database" (for
a program).
Database: A collection of related electronic records in a
standardized format, searchable in a variety of ways, such as
title, author, subject, and keyword. ...
A spreadsheet, if it were organized with consistent columns of data
of the same type in a column, of a specific nature, allowing
searching and indexing, would be technically considered a database.
As an example, if you have a mailing list that contains both active
and inactive contacts, each column represents a specific type of
data, you could consider that a database.
If the columns contain different types of data, such as a mix of non
related information vertically, instead of only related data, this
dissimilar data per column would invalidate it as a database.
So, if a column had say:
RED
GREEN
BLUE
ORANGE
YELLOW
...
As long as it was only colors, it would could be considere a
database.
If the same column was mixed with:
Red
12/1/2001
TIRE
=50*C$1$
Then the sheet would not be a database.
