Why is Access better than Excel?

RE: Why is Access better than Excel?

Hi Lu

Access is not neccessarily better than Excel, it just depends what you want to do. If you want to create a database then use Microsoft Access however if you just want to create a spreadsheet then use Microsoft Excel.

So if you need to create something that has multiple tables that have a relationship with each other (ie they are linked) then use Microsoft Access. If you just on to create something that does not need linked tables then use Microsoft Excel

Hope this helps

David
