Dear Valerie and List, I throw in with Ingvild, you can use Excel as a database, you are just limited as to how it is done, and how the queries are performed. And, I remember something about using a part of it called Q&A to convert comma delimited databases into the Excel format. I have been far removed from that part of Excel for a long time, so could be out of date on this. Jerry.

Access has to be bought in addition, and is not excately cheap (at least not here in Norway). So I would not give in on Exel. > > But for the time being, I am happy to use the dict program of sw 4.3 .... several thounsand of signs safely stored.. > > Ingvild > |
