Im looking for a database (pref on MS Access as I have used that before) that I can use to save basic details about a group of people I work with.
I need to save individual names, addresses, phone numbers, hopefully a photo and a few other bits on bobs such as what activities they have worked on and when they had reviews etc
Does anyone know where a site where I could get hold of one for free?
Many thanks

PS I did buy one of ebay for 99p but it was pretty rubbish!

A "database" is just that..........a base of data, i.e tables containing information.
You need a program to handle the database..............have you actually got Access installed?You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take - Wayne Gretzky
Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.0 -
www.openoffice.org
Is a complete suite and contains a data base program.
Its free and an excellent alternative to office, i have been using for my university work for well over a year.0 -
https://www.essentialpim.com
allows (with a modicum of creativity) multiple databases to be held and allows defining of Fields
also has other useful PIM features - used it for ages and it is excellentHate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
Do little and often
Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:0 -
Access contains several already. Look through the wizards.
If you need more, go to the microsoft site, there are free databases you can download.
Go here, then pick your version: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101172481033.aspx0 -
Excel has good simple database functions - much easier to use than Access.
I've also used (and taught beginners) the MS Works database - it's very friendly.0 -
Thanks all! Im looking at them right now.
Cheers!
