Solve : PROGRAMS - Microsoft WORKS vs WORD?

1.	Solve : PROGRAMS - Microsoft WORKS vs WORD?
Answer» I am using OS Vista (Home Version) on a 2008 Sony VAIO laptop. I am cataloging an extensive[/u collection of Snoopy (Peanuts) memorabilia utilizing the Microsoft "WORKS" database program. As I progress, I would like to periodically copy my data to my client's computer. Unfortunately, my client does not have the WORKS program. I copied the data to Microsoft OFFICE EXCEL (my client CAN access this), but I am not utilizing formulas, etc. in my compilation of text and numbered data. I mostly just catalogue and frequently use the sort command. I would much prefer a database, (as I know it) in LIEU of a spreadsheet. Is there a database program in Microsoft Office "WORD" that will take the place of WORKS database? Is there a database that you would recommend. THANKS, BWM Quote from: BWM on March 13, 2010, 02:20:54 PM Is there a database program in Microsoft Office "WORD" that will take the place of WORKS database? MS Word is a word processing program. MS Office is a suite of programs. Depending on the Office version, MS Access (a full featured database) may be included in that suite. BTW, I don't know why you are underlining all text, but it makes it harder to read.Apparently, you have Word and Excel, so you must have some version of Microsoft Office. What version do you have? Do you know whether you have Microsoft Access in your version of Office? Surely you know the answer to this, since you say you're more familiar with database than spreadsheet. And, if that's true, what database software are you familiar with? Do you have it installed on your computer? Also, you need to consider whether your client has database software that would be compatible with whatever you use.
