Want to use Excel as a database for small school, how to print out specific fields??

[niteowl]

Hi all,

I am a volunteer parent for a small school and have been asked to help
setup a database of the students (160) and need to figure out how to
create a file and print just specific fields for different purposes.

I tried the mail merge but didn't get the result I needed, which is
just a page of information to pass out amongst the different families.

I've looked around but can't find anything that looks like it would do
what I need, but I seem to remember that it is possible. so far I've
got my column headers and the data entered, but can't do anything with
it.

The school is using WindowXP Pro with the 2002 Office Suite, at home I
use the Office97Pro Suite, so don't know how much it's changed since
way back then.. ;-) I never used Excel that much anyway, so I'm
really a Newbie.

Any help would be appreciated, I don't even know what to call what I
want to do, so it's hard to find anything to search for.

thanks,
niteowl

I have spare time right now, and I would be glad to help you, please email
me. I think you can easily accomplish what you appear to want by using
"hide columns" and/or by linking certain columns and/or rows to another
page.
