The advantage with databases is that you can save the queries once you have done them for the first time.
In any case, good luck in typing everything!!:wink:
That's what I was going to suggest aswell, from my experience of setting up databases, access is probably one of the best ones, as it allows you to set up reports that you could use to select your weekly moves :D

I'd normally sugest Excel to anyone with accountancy training. But for long descriptions of moves, a spreadsheet is not really practical - you can't put enough text into each cell.
I'd recommend a database package - Access for a PC, and whatever Azande/Franck say for a Mac.
PS If you don't have a copy of Access, (or MS Office), and you have your own company that does IT or consultancy work, then DON'T buy a single copy. You can get the Microsoft Action Pack for £199 +VAT that gives you 10 licences for Windows & Office, plus a Server licence.
