It looks like Approach is a database program not a spreadsheet, so I think the Microsoft counterpart would be Access and not Excel. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 13:49 4
- Ah, I wondered about that. I've never taken the time to mess with Access. Guess when somebody actually shows me what they've got I can decide - MojaveMeg Aug 6, 14:30 2
  - Depending on what you actually have to do with the database, it's not too hard to learn in general. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:46
  - Access is easier than Excel, in my experience using them both -- nm - moles Aug 6, 14:46
- I believe this is correct. Lotus 1-2-3 was the spreadsheet program before the Lotus Office Suite was discontinued. - ty97 Aug 6, 13:53
