When would I use Access instead of Excel?

[Willard]

I need to add a spreadsheet, as a summary to a PowerPoint Presentation.
This will then be used to prioritize the items, add capital expenses and
then track their progress as projects.
Which would work better, Access or Excel?

Excel is the spreadsheet.. Access is a database..

Hi,

Can`t you add the excell spreadsheet into powerpoint? I don`t know
powerpoint very well, actually never used it, but I have seen spreadsheets
imported into a powerpoint presentation. So I would beleive using excel
then importing it into powerpoint would do what you want.
