i need to know about excel the software and what it is good for. also i
need to know why/if so is Access better than it and what are the differences
between the two software. if you could reply as soon as possible it would be
much appretiated.

thank you,

Wow - that's a pretty broad question.

I could give you the million line response, or just simply say
Excel is a Spreadsheet application
Access is a Database application

Since both applications give users the ability to manage their data, there
is quite a lot of feature overlap.
Each application has their strengths depending on the task.

Suggest you research the terms Spreadsheet and Database.

Hi

sounds like homework to me.

couple of things you might like to research a
- limitations with regards to the number of records each can deal with
- concepts like relational vs flatfile databases

Cheers

As Rob explained answering to your question will be out of scope here.
There are Video Tapes (and now mostly CD / DVDs too), on Excel
and Access Tutorials. I would suggest you contact a local MicroSoft dealers
and get the Tutorial tapes. These are pretty good for one to learn faster.
