Hi guys,
Just about to embark on a small database project for my local community, but I'm after a few opinions on what is going to be the easiest way of doing it:
Basically.. I need to record information of people who are going to attend some meetings. There is a major development due to happen and we are organising lots of events to gather local people's opinions. The idea is that by acurately consolidating what people think and where they live, we'll be able to present our objections in such a well-organised way that it will be more effective than just random people protesting etc.
So there will be multiple people, multiple events and at each event we'll be asking multiple questions of people and recording all of the individual people's answers. As the project gains momentum we'll hope to be able to do things like "Find all the people who are 24-30, oppose the development and live in the post code 'ME2' and give me their address..."
As far as I can tell I've got three options for this:
1. MS Excel
2. MS Access
3. MySQL with some sort of web front end - presumably this option could either be an "online" or "offline" version.
I don't have insane skills, but I have do have experience of all three - I might even use getafreelancer.com to hire some cheap labour to do the complicated bits of it - but I'm wondering what the easiest route is going to be. There's some obvious drawbacks and advantages, but if anyone else has opinions I'd be interested to discuss!
Cheers,

), but there's absolutely no need to be doing that sort of thing unless you *really* want to
