I just want to share another tested product. I don't usually download free programs as they always come with invasive adware and hidden spyware. Sometimes you even get the dreaded "pre-load virus". So I was hesitant at first when searching for a free database/spreadsheet. And then I came across this Gem.
I'm actually looking forward to data-entry again. This program has everything that Microsoft has. Just like it promises, it's easy to use and interfaces with other programs quite nicely. I've already produced 2 spreadsheets and going to try my hand at connecting data from one document to another. According to Openoffice, this should be a breeze.
Openoffice.org has tons of templates to choice from in several categories including personal, business and hard-to-find templates. I even found a template to keep track of my son's diabetes. It was provided by a another user of Openoffice.org and once I figured out how to stop my date from looking like "Y2K incompatible", the whole thing looked clean and easy to understand. My boy's diabetes team are going to love this new tool.
Although I had a couple of glitches when I first opened this program, it was nothing a good 'defrag' didn't cure. The download time is also descent considering all the features provided. Anything Works or Excel can do at full cost, Openoffice.org can do at no cost. And again, I stress that this program can interface with other major spreadsheet programs out there.
Just thought I would share this one with those who are "admin. geeks". I'm not ashamed as I explained to my husband that spreadsheet programs are to me what Xbox 1st person-shooter games are to him. Pure bliss. Most should understand that feeling.
Until our next moment in time, enjoy the day, not matter which day it is.
