cool I just want like a searchable database

Well Excel is spreadsheet, which will work. If you want a DB you can use Access which is also in office, or MySQL, but access is a lot easier for users to setup their own DB's.

Thanks Milk

[milkman]

Access is pretty easy, lot of templates in it too for simple DB's like that. Not very scalable for business use, like big DB's.

[NeTaS]

I just need to keep track of names and numbers and a little job info on each one

[milkman]

Yeah access should have a simple template for that, so each record is separate. Pretty easy to do.

[NeTaS]

nice

, so Ras says he is a "Truth Seeker", but he doesn't believe in labels. Dumbass!

stay away from shitty mysql

[milkman]

stay away from shitty mysql

It works fine for small application DB's. Many network apps I used used it. Not scalable though and not something you can just setup a simple DB in unless you know SQL.

[SJ]

so... in other words stay away from mysql

[milkman]

I want some of that GMO grass seed that is pest resistant, drought resitant, shade resistant. Win win IMO!

Can usually find a code for like $20 from MS to download a copy with license to. There is no annual fee I've ever heard of.
