Agreed, however I'm sure there are others who also use the functionality.

Which I appreciated. I just wasn't aware of the direction of the project 
to look like excel, and shared my opinion. I realize it seemed to be 
directed at you, and I didn't intend it in that manner and apologize. 
It's just sad for me to see this happening, as I have no need for a look 
alike, or work alike for that matter. I loved that the program allowed 
me to work quickly and efficiently, and to do my job simply.

I'm not saying it isn't useful, I'm saying it shouldn't have replace 
what worked simply and well. Adding an /Advanced /AutoFilter is a great 
idea for those who want that functionality. I just don't understand why 
current functionality has to be lost to add something.

A database for my use is overkill. Again, I like to do things in their 
fastest simplest form to get the job done. I need simple line items of 
data. Nothing complex or relational, yes for anything like that a 
database is the perfect vehicle. The last time I built a full database 
was in dbase in dos ;-) most of my database needs are provided by sites 
online.

peace,
