[NTLUG:Discuss] Alternative to MS Excel and MS-Access

[Tom Woody]

I have had good experience with Star Office (on Windows and on Linux).  Some features of Excel and Word don't translate very well into Star Office, but otherwise it works very well.  It would primarily depend on the features used in the spreadsheets that he would need to work on.  I have never installed the DB portion of Star Office (MySQL works perfectly for me).

If you have any trouble sounding condescending,
find a Unix user to show you how it's done.
