@Eleusis, can I also put in a good word for [Airtable.com](http://Airtable.com)? I’m not affiliated with them, but they offer a very nice service, like a modern web-based Access that’s super easy to use and share, and has a generous free plan.

Example that I made for you in a few minutes: [Airtable - Airtable Demo](https://airtable.com/appjwDSgE6ISBzWGs/shrW9ritgdQ6jmfrb/tblherP9ZpkI71jYN/viwad4fdiuLV8xMLs?blocks=hide)

You can easily mix & match column filters there, link to related tables (like companies), or show the same data in a [gallery view](https://airtable.com/appjwDSgE6ISBzWGs/shrW9ritgdQ6jmfrb/tblherP9ZpkI71jYN/viwgTQVUZDQSKBdJA?blocks=hide) (and still apply filters), etc.

We had another poster recently use it for a large catalog of items for sale, too, to good effect: [I come again, humbly, for advice: photo hosting site (with conditions) - #9 by Reply](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-come-again-humbly-for-advice-photo-hosting-site-with-conditions/1006398/9)

It’s a really good product and way better than Google Sheets or Excels if you want something more database-like than spreadsheet-like.
