Hi - I used to organise small conferences a few years ago - had one excel spreadsheet with every attendee listed.

used auto filter to sort against column headers like: paid, cancelled, attending, booked etc.

So it made it easy to filter out those who wanted to come who hadn't paid - or those who needed accommodation.

Used another worksheet with contact details and linked them.

I called it 'the oracle' - was quick and dirty - but really easy to update and everything was in the same place - of course I kept a copy online (protected) so I could access it from anywhere ;)

Don't know if that helps.
