Planning application

[gibbylinks]

I work for a company in the printing industry. At present we are using a very
large spreadsheet for planning jobs through the factory, which requires lots
of information being entered more than once.

A spreadsheet was because it is easy to "pick" jobs up and move them around
in the schedule, but it has grown very large and contains several sheets
which require information duplicating.

I'm looking into simplifying it and was wondering whether a database would
be a better solution. Can anyone advise or give me some hints as to which
direction to take.

Thanks

Paul

You may want to consider Project since this application was designed
for this type of task.

Otherwise, yes, it sounds like you need to create a relational
database, such as Access.
