Chris is the owner of an online retail start-up business. His company creates and sells specialized t-shirts, water bottles, and bumper stickers. He started his business out of his garage, and one year later he employs more than 200 people. They fill hundreds of online orders each day that are delivered to thousands of people across the country. Initially, Chris's business used Microsoft Excel to take and track orders. Chris is very reluctant to change systems, but as hie business grows, he needs a more powerful database tool. Chris wants your help to determine if his business should stay with Excel or switch to Access.
