Thank you, thank you, thank you. A really big pet peeve of mine is that people use Microsoft Excel as a data base. It is a spread sheet and a very good one at that.
This is a bit off topic, so I hope the crowd will excuse me.
According tio Wiki "A database is an organized collection of data for one or more purposes, usually in digital form. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the availability of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports processes requiring this information (for example, finding a hotel with vacancies). The term "database" refers both to the way its users view it, and to the logical and physical materialization of its data, content, in files, computer memory, and computer data storage. This definition is very general, and is independent of the technology used." So, Excel, Word, etc., files can all be databases.
