I am torn between using Excel, Access or Word to keep track of a new business
- envision probably no more than 80 clients several years down the road. Want
to keep track of number of times clients visited, amount billed, paid,
general client info, etc. I am least proficient at Access - any ideas on
which is best?

Given those parameters - Excel. Or you could invest a little time and learn
to use Access. ;-)

Access would probably be the better app for this type of thing, but if it's
not easy, you won't keep up with the records -- that is, you won't do the
entry to keep them up to date. At least that's how it works for me. :)

Based on that and the fact that you won't have more than 80 clients and just
need to track basic info, I'd probably just use Excel. But that's me.
