Is there a way to use microsoft excel spreadsheets?
yes... it is different than database stuffs, though... i haven't done it but i
have read about it over the years i've been on this list... fpspreadsheet is
what you want for that... if you are doing anything with csv files, then you
probably want to start here...

also, please don't top post... it really messes up trying to follow a
conversation... it is a huge mess when it gets mixed in with inline posting and
bottom posting making a truly distasteful hash of things ;)

Where can I get a tutorial for using dbase on lazarus?
"dbase" as in the old dBase database stuff or "dbase" as in coding for and
using (SQL) databases?
IIRC and unless something has changed that i'm not aware of (quite easy), the
dbase interface code is only really for reading that data... today's databases
are all SQL databases which offers a lot more capabilities and is really where
you should look... if you have an existing dbase database, you might consider
to convert it from that format to SQL and store the information in a modern
database...
