Spreadsheet or Database

[lhsail]

I'm in the process of going through the documentation from our 40+ cruises, a retirement activity. Does anyone use a spreadsheet or database to document their cruises? I want to be able to summarize cruise line, ship, cabin number, departure port, ports of call and any special notes about the cruise. I'm thinking an Access database would be best, but I don't know much about creating a database in Access. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I think a spreadsheet would be best, I can't think of many instances where people would capture to a full database system.

I have a lot of experience with Access data bases. Unless you have experience or in intuitive ability with data bases you are probably better off using a spread sheet. Excel doubles as a data base for small projects such as yours. Access is better for very large data bases, think thousands of records and fields for data.

I have kept mine in spreadsheets for many years.

 

Started it with Lotus 123 and later converted to Excel.
