I use the HTR exports and the HDW charts for source data, and BRIS files - I have a program that extracts a set of data. I also hand add Beyer numbers to an Excel file for each track I follow. I will export various queries to Excel to work with.

Access is my database , but I export a lot to Excel to do work in. Access is very easy to use. I picked it up pretty quickly with just the tutorials from HTR on how to do it. I use it as is - no vbasic or scripting or anything advanced.

One program I find very helpful is Simple file Joiner - freeware. I use it to join text files - maybe a 100 at a time - all the daily chart files - to make one file to use for importing.
