I have MS home office, which includes Excel. Unlike most in this group,
I am not an Excel power user. I understand that Excel is a spreadsheet
program that can also be used as a database program. I use Excel
as a database program, and it works great for me. I noticed that MS
Access (database program) is not included with MS home office.

So here is my question.
What is MS Access used for, if Excel already does database duties ?
Please help me to understand the difference between them.

Thanks Mike
