I'd say your supposition is correct Donna.  Excel is easier to set up
initially than Access and easier to learn and use.     The structure of
a contact db in Excel is simple, easy to see, easy to change, easy to
work with.  Until people understand the benefits of Access and a true
database, they are reluctant to change.   /g

Subject: [mso] Excel or Access

I'm wondering why in some organizations Excel spreadsheets are used more
often than Access to hold contact information.  Is it just because Excel
is so widely used for the spreadsheet info and is more easily accessible
and understood?

No one within these orgs can tell me why they use Excel over Access
either.  Just wondering.....
