Hi Everyone,

I'm working as a temp in an Accounting Department. I was asked to do an
analysis of several different rental car companies, compare the Program
Benefits & Rates. Its been so long since I've had to do this sort of thing &
I'm not sure what would be the best & easiest way to do this. I've done all my
homework & have everything necessary to create a report. If you have the
time, I'd be more than happy to read any suggestions you may have.

Microsoft Office offers a number of solutions to reports. Which one
would work best for you is difficult to say without knowing a lot more about
what data you have and the kind of reports you need.

Microsoft Office is a collection of a number of programs including Word,
Excel Access and Publisher. I would guess one or a combination of more than
one would be a good choice.

In accounting the two that would most likely work for you would be Excel
or Access. Excel is generally better known and is easier for accounting
types to learn if they have not had prior experience. For more advanced and
larger projects Access is generally a better solution, but the learning
curve is rather steep.

If you can tell us a little more about the data and what programs you
may have access to (as well as the programs and the computer savvy of those
who will be using the result we might be able to offer some more specific
advice.

Note: There are a number of office suite products from Microsoft. They
contain different combinations of products. Also different versions have
been available, so it is important to tell us what version(s) may be in use.
