> I'll add that another big problem I have with Excel is usually the lack of database support. SharePoint site as the backend. Spare PC in a cupboard somewhere chugging away as a substitute for cron, or if you want to updating a spreadsheet middle layer that the dumb terminal sheets connect to via a shared drive... with a script running simulating moving the mouse so the mandatory screensaver timeout doesn't kick in. Been there, done that.
