Hi Adam,

Your requirements would be better met, especially in the longer term, with Access or a similar product.

The fact that the user might have little or no experience with either Excel or Access is inconsequential, since what you really need is a series of interfaces (eg userforms) for data entry and report specification. With those, it really doesn't matter to the user what the background application is - for all they care what's sitting behind it could be Word or PowerPoint, or a stand-alone application.
