	I'm a novice spreadsheet user. I'd like to know from
	the people reading this group which spreadsheet is best
	suited for report generation and file linking. For example,
	if it were to be used to analyze financial data of 5000+
	entities, where a report would need to be generated from
	a collection of spreadsheet files, and fields added and
	deleted as needed, the file linkage could be several levels
	deep, for example :
	
		a set of spreadsheets with quaterly balance sheet info
		one spreasheet with daily info
		one spreadsheet with textual data

	All the above would be "tables" of sorts.


	Similar setups can be conceived for medical data processing as well.	

	Maybe the thing to use is really a database package,
	but with all the superlative releases of excel, foxpro, lotus
	etc, I'm sure where the technology stands.
