TSGL: suitable database

[Ron Brunton]

Would Excel (or another spreadsheet) do the job for you? Excel has some very
elaborate ways of displaying data and it does accept comma delimited data.
Each row is a record and each column is a field. The data filters can be
used for very complicated searchs.

Subject: TSGL: suitable database

I am looking for a suitable database. For about 3 years now I've been  
working on a project where I've been collecting info on solving computer  
problems.My sources are Kim Kommando, Fred Langa, TSGL, RCM and several
computer  
magazines. I have 875 entry's. I"ve entered my data into a M/S Works
database  using 
fields called: problem,-description,-solution 1,-solution 2,-solution  
3,-more info. It has proven to be a mistake because I can only search for
one or  2 
words at a time using clumsy filters. I don't like getting into querys and  
reports because I don't understand them that well. I would like to type in  
something like "how to do a repair installation of windows XP" and have it
go  
right to the entry rather than coming up with every mention of XP or repair.

I've tried Google desktop and M/S desktop and wasn't happy with the results.

I've seen databases that might have done the job but each item would have to
be  
entered separately. I would like to have a program that I can feed my data 
into  in comma delimited or space delimited .doc or .html form and have it 
searched.  Any inexpensive ideas?
