Background of the study The school registrar of the Philippine Science High School — Central Mindanao Campus is responsible for handling student information and gathering them during enrollment. This information includes each student’s background information, student medical history, student attendance, grades, performance record, and other information needed by the school. The school registrar makes reports from student data, sums up attendance sheets, issues ID’s, monitors excuse slips and implements policies, rules and regulations on selection and admission of the students. She also takes charge of information regarding entrance tests, ranks grades, issues report cards and transcript records, provides secretarial assistance to record the minutes of scholarship committee meetings and provides information to the faculty and staff who requests student information. In handling this information, the school registrar utilizes the software application Office Excel™ from Microsoft Corporation (Andoy, 2007). In its nature, Microsoft Office Excel was not designed to cater the specific needs of the registrar. The software application has been macro-programmed by the school’s Computer Science teacher, Mr. Arvel Huilar, in order for it to be able to automate several processes. The macro program was basically designed to assist the registrar and the subject teachers in inputting student information. The macro program, however, was not capable of handling extensive data retrieval functions because of the flat file nature of its
