[AccessD] Home inventory problem

Steve:

Then it seem like Excel would be the ideal tool.  No programming.  No 
design.  No debugging.  Capture the data in it's simplest form - item, 
location cost - sum of cost at the end.

Then down the road, he could always make an Access db - the spreadsheets 
would be easy to convert.  My guess is that the would never fool with it 
because the spreadsheets would give him all the information he needed.

Effective, but, of course, no fun.

Rocky
