Or use OpenBase instead.  It is getting just as good as Access for small stuff like this.  OpenBase is part of OO and can be downloaded for use on windows or linux.

You say "...something that he can get info by the date, the name, and do a statistic comparison for each year , like alcohol in 2004 compared to 2005 type thing...."

Not very specific.  This may be a database solution.  If he is technical  at all he could roll his own using M$-Access.  Or my favorite is FoxPro.  You might be able to hire a FoxPro developer for $65.00/hr to create what he needs.  A small project would be probably $1500 - $2500.

You can use a spreadsheet however they are not good at large data sets.  However they are good at analysis and what ifs.
