Help me find a program for a specific purpose

[N.Knight]

Hello
I am into animal husbandry and I am planning on selective breeding some of my stock. I need a program which can help me in creating a breed registry (similar to a stud book). I am asking here because I am under the impression that some folk here have good knowledge of computers. So please help me if you can.

I did some google search but I was unable to find a program that fits my criteria. It is unlikely that a specific program exists for this purpose (I will be a much happier man if it does, or if someone decides to make one). I am looking for a program with these features:

1. can make and edit spreadsheets
2. can include images inside or along the spreadsheets (this is very important)
3. can export spreadsheets into pdf (easier to share with other breeders)
4. makes some sort of data tree with interlinked pages (like a wiki)
5. includes a calendar, like a blog where I can access the entries I've made according to date
6. Also, it should be free to use

If you know a program that even comes close then please tell me, it will make my life and my work much easier.

Thanks

According with your needs, I've found the idea you have:

Taking into account you want a free software, the best approach to your needs consists in a database application, mainly Libreoffice and the base component.

Of course, you have to setup and configure the data structure to fit you horse breed needs, but at the end you'll have full control in how it will work.

I hope it helps

Thank you for the quick response!
Both links are very helpful. Poplink is dead on!
LibreOffice appears to be user friendly from the screenshots. It looks I can add pictures into the database. Perhaps with some reading I can configure it myself. In case I can't then I know where to ask for help.
Thanks once again

yes, in fact it's the base code, but libreoffice is now one step forward in development and optimization.

BTW, with this you can say bye bye to the awful M$ Office!!! It's much better and reliable.

LibreOffice is the more open source fork of OpenOffice, after Oracle got their filthy hands on it with patents.
