There is no need to buy Access. The Open Office Base component will do
pretty much the same thing and the Calc component will do the same as Excel.
OIpen Office is Open Source Software and is, therefore, Free.

Thanks for the replies so far, It appears that it is not possible at the moment
to sort the name index other than by RIN, Surname or Given name which is a
