Hi All Again, Very Good question Sue R. and the reply also concerns all on the list who may be interested in the Mendon , Ma. Cemetery CD. The data base given to us by the compiler was a DOS program called Alpha-4.. and one had to buy that program to view the CD. (unacceptable of course) I had it converted to Microsoft Access .. after trying MS Excel and etc. All who have Windows have ACCESS on their computer. Go to C:\ program File\Microsoft Office and you will see ACCESS listed there.. The CD can be viewed right from your D-E or whatever your CD drive is or downloaded into your computer. Each entry has a very long set of cells.. MS Excel was not large enough to hold them .. and that is the reason MS ACCESS was used. Just for the record here, most questions asked on the list concern the whole list and not only the individual named in the greeting. Questions on threads , queries, and even chat on various subjects is allowed on the Ma-Mendon List. We try to encourage list participation, by all subscribers, even if it is only a question about the weather.. No flames, no religion or politics, unless genealogy or historical related., are acceptable. Night Night All, Alice List MOM

Got problem for you. Access is not acceptable to me because I don't use it. Adobe Acrobat PDF is one that is widespread. The reader version is free.
