Excel Database or Access??
Do you want the data to be accessed by more than one person at a time? Yes,
probably Access. Do you want to update the data? Are there many data items? Quite honestly, if you design the tables well, use range names and other good practices, you could use ADO to read the 3 tables into one results set with everything in Excel. If this became problematical later, it would be trivial to migrate the data to an Access database (forget the Access UI, apart from creating the tables and maybe adding new data manually). -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "Centrol" wrote in message ...
