Database Application

    Hey,
    Might be a real noob question, but I want to set up a database for the kids I teach, with records of how they're doing throughout the year, and any incidents that need to be noticed. I don't need to have their contact details (indeed, I'd probably be arrested if I had them!), or their blood types, or any of the millions of other categories that some programmes offer. I just want something simple that will allow me, at the click of a name, to bring up what I've noted about the pupil. Also, it needs to be printable. Does such a programme exist? Does such a programme exist in the Microsoft Office 2010 suite? Apologies if this seems a bit obvious, but I'm in the process of getting more tech savvy, and informing myself about Office, but I don't want to spend an hour now seeing if it offers such an application only to find that it doesn't!

    Thanks in advance.

    Depending on your version of MS Office, you may have MS Access, that would be the quickest (and dirtiest) to use. You'll be able to create tables, link them to each other, add/update/delete rows, and even do a report which would look ok when printed.
