An alternative to Microsoft Access is Microsoft Excel. Do you have
either?

Er.... Excel is a spreadsheet application, designed for crunching
numbers and financial data. It's not even close to being a database
application.

Please reconsider your statement. It may not be as sophisticated as
Microsoft Access but it is a database application.

It takes a lot more than pivot tables to make a database. Excel
doesn't come close to even the long defunct DataStar or dBase3 in terms
of database capabilities.

So you concede that Excel is a database?

I guess that raises the question as to whether or not a spreadsheet (like
Excel) is a database or not. In some sense, it sure can be seen that way:
i.e, as a "database" of numeric data. But I don't think that's the most
conventional use of the term "database" (for a program).

Database: A collection of related electronic records in a standardized
format, searchable in a variety of ways, such as title, author, subject,
and keyword. ...
A spreadsheet, if it were organized with consistent columns of data of
the same type in a column, of a specific nature, allowing searching and
indexing, would be technically considered a database.
As an example, if you have a mailing list that contains both active and
inactive contacts, each column represents a specific type of data, you
could consider that a database.
If the columns contain different types of data, such as a mix of non
related information vertically, instead of only related data, this
dissimilar data per column would invalidate it as a database.
So, if a column had say:
RED
GREEN
BLUE
ORANGE
YELLOW
....
As long as it was only colors, it would could be considere a database.
If the same column was mixed with:
Red
12/1/2001
TIRE
=50*C$1$
Then the sheet would not be a database.
