I'm looking for a free, online way to collect grandchildren's addresses

[bythecshore]

I don't think this is an Excel question, but I've visited Mr. Excel many times over the years and figure someone here might have an answer.

My mom wants to collect her 16 grandchildren's contact information in a place where it can be always updated, as opposed to the notebook she now uses which is always partially out of date. I know I could use Excel for this, but I'd like to find an online database or app that's accessible by the grandchildren and her so they can all be in charge of their info.

Does anyone have ideas of what I/my mom could use for this? BTW, she's not that good at computer stuff, so the simpler the better. And she uses a Mac, if that matters.

I have NO experience with this site, and make NO guarantees for its safety or usability, but here's a link that seems to do what you want:

You could start a OneDrive account for her and use an Excel Web workbook. You can share the workbook with other people who can keep their info up to date themselves.

HTH,

Thanks, I"ll check it out.

She, and probably most of the grandkids, don't have or use Excel, which is why I'm leaning toward a webs strategy that's cross-browser compatible.

That's what's cool about the Excel Web App; it's free and web based, so you can access it from any browser.

OK, I did not know that. I'll check it out!
