Hi

Please send me in the right direction if my question is off topic. I am new to spread-sheets in general and need some advice:

I am in the process of setting up a rather sizeable spreadsheet (that should probably become a fully fledged database) to manage the information I have for students who live in my dormitory. (I am the dormitory dean).

The First Sheet contains all the names of the students, contact details, parents information, medical insurance information, postal addresses etc. It has over 40 columns.

The second Sheet contains the names of these students and their room placements.

The third sheet contains the anmes of the students and some citizenship records.

At the moment I am just copying the Names and Surnames from Sheet one and Pasting them into sheet 2 and 3.

The problem is that if a new student comes I have to update all three sheets by hand. If one name is spelled incorrectly, I have to physically go and spell all three differently.

Is there a way that I can link the three sheets so that when I add a new student or when I update information for a student, all the relevant columns in the other sheets are updated?

I thank you for giving me some advice. (Probably I should learn how to work MySQL and programme PHP to create queries... but I am not a developer and it will take months to learn to do that.)

Thanks

Weiers
