Hi all,
I'm on the hunt for a simple database program for Windows. I'm hoping
someone on list uses one or knows of one.
Its main purpose is to help me organize terminology. One of the things I
do for a living is translate and interpret, so I sometimes need to
research how something is said. I'd like a no-fuss program I can quickly
enter new terms, translations, and usage notes into, then use to search
for terms when I'm preparing for a job. I would use the database for
other things, like organizing client billing info, recipes, knitting
patterns.
I use Excel and Word, but either moving to the right location or having
to sort afterward makes entering new terms less quick and easy than I'd
like, especially when I'm in the middle of searching for lots of terms
or in the throes of a translation with a fast approaching deadline. the
other problem is that searches get slower as the glossary grows.
I don't have Access, and I don't want to buy it because it seems too
much program for my needs. I tried some databases a few years ago, and
they were not very accessible. I'm thinking of trying again, but I
thought I'd post here first, to save myself some trial and error.
any suggestions?
Ciao
