i am an Excel person

tried using Acess but in my opinion it is useless.

If you were a sales person selling do-waps it MIGHT be good.
Excell is getting more and more powerful.

But really it is just a add up you want to track..
Excell will graph it agaist months and all sorts of crap.

Lets face it..... do you REALLY want to knbow how much you spent?//

lol, well yes!

I know it wont make me feel good, but at least I will have a nice Bug at the end of it all.
My Excel file also helps keep track of my contacts, like shops and service providers like welders etc.

Ive a question for you then, if you are an excel person :P.

How do I make a hyperlink that searches for a text string on a different worksheet, then takes you there?

Cheers
