Default Using an Excel workbook

Okay.. What if we placed a copy on each laptop and let them run independantly?

Can it be done?

Is it difficult?

If you're gonna have multiple people accessing that database simultaneously,
excel might not be the best solution. You may want to consider a real database
application (Access???).

I have an Excel worbook containing worksheets of all our baseball
participants from last year. I would like to use it to facilitate our
registration this year.

Here's my idea.

I would like to setup several laptops with access to a hub and server. I
would like to be able to register players for the season by first searching
for a current record for the player. If one is found, I would like to open a
form containing the registration information and confirm or change and save
the updated information.

If one is not found, i would like to open a registration form that can be
completed and saved and save as a record on a specific worksheet based on the
age of the player.

2 questions:

Is it possible?

and

How difficult is it to setup?
