Computer help. Updating a list?

[bnorth]

Member Mouschi is your man. If you seen his Canseco post you will understand why.

Something else popped into my head, Dale. If you don't want to spend the money on Microsoft Office, you can download Apache Open Office. Since it's open source, it's completely free. And, it's compatible with Microsoft Office. If somebody sends you an .xls file (Excel's native format), you can open it in Open Office. It's been a few years since I've used the software, so I wouldn't be cognizant of any changes of late. But, it's very nice, and should do everything you need.

It's what I am doing for my project, and it feels good to delete a line every time I make a pickup. To keep track of what I have, I have an excel sheet that I use to keep track of costs, and I printed out a complete list and highlighted the ones I have.

Thanks for the help, guys. I also received a PM from another member about copying and pasting a list from one of the many available so I am going to give that a go.

My wife tried yesterday with what she knows, but like Bill mentioned originally, that didn't work.

I'll let you guys know how I make out.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
