Not a lot of reply's but am sure that is where most people could benefit from excel.

The type of data base i can do will be like a phone directory type where you would put in say a horses name then record specific info such as the price you backed it at or any info then when you need to go back and check that horse at a later date you just select it from your list and the info will be displayed.

I will start on web queries and will post some examples and info to get started a bit later tonight.
