Rainy Friday

I am working today, but two weeks from now I'm going back to taking every
other Friday off. Or maybe I'll take the opposite ones. That works better
because I'd get the Friday before Memorial Day off. Doesn't matter as much
since I'm now making a half a day more vacation time per month. Happy 3
year anniversary at work to me. :)

Excel vs Access

I am creating a database of "ShipAlts" or updates, Alterations, to ships.
This includes dates, past and future, the alteration name and number, a list
for each ship, a description of each alteration... They want multiple
sheets, a summary sheet that shows dates for each alteration for each ship,
and then a sheet for each ship that has more details.

My problem is that they want this done in Excel... and I'm struggling with a
good framework to use when it feels like something that should be a database
in Access. Then you can format it however you want on the stuff you want
displayed.
