I guess neither of you read the article, because the point of the original question isn’t to get recommendations for yet another spreadsheet program, it’s to get a program that lets us get away from spreadsheets-as-databases, because when such creations get complicated, they become very difficult to debug. (The article is about a guy who hates the fact that he allowed it to become known that he can debug these monstrosities, with the result that people keep bringing them to him.) What we want is a SQLite-based program along the lines of Access or FileMaker, preferably with some kind of cloud capability. If that wish seems frivolous, realize that we’re not going to get rid of the spreadsheet-as-database as long as we have things like Office 365, Google Sheets, and iWork Numbers filling the desktop, mobile, *and* cloud niches. This replacement must fill all of these same niches to begin pushing out these misuses of spreadsheets. Otherwise, it will only help the minority of people who need a personal database on only one of these platforms. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
