I'm not really sure where to start looking for ways of doing this but I'm sure it's something painfuly simple (hopefully)...
I want to make a sortable spreadsheet/database type thing with images, and sortable atributes. It either needs to be an MS Office format or something that can be easily opened at work. It needs to display thumbnails, or user-sized images.
What the best way of going about this?
Excel would be the easiest as far as the data aspect, but it sucks at showing images. It either slows to a crawl, or doesn't sort them properly, since they aren't "within" the cell. I know I could put the image in a pop-up "comment" but there's no thunbnail shown unless you mouse-over, which isn't condusive to the quick-search I want it to be.
Any thoughts?
I have Excel & Access if any of those will help.
Basically, I want to compile a listing of my favorite and frequenty-specified furniture, with multiple sortable descriptors, so i can just go in and say "I want a lounge chair, raised, swivel, tablet arm, modern, and between $1000 and $1500 list" and be able to sort by all of those different attributes, which would have been filled in in their own seperate columns. It needs to at least have a thumbnail, if not a full-res image pop-up on mouse-over.
Something that looks...something like this:
Any information/direction would be helpful!!
