Me either!  I started using Excel when I worked at a school running the
admissions department.  We had a UNIX database that also operated the
accounting system, but my part of it handled 15,000+ family entries, with
multiple children, multiple years of (potential) entry to the school,
multiple feeder schools, multiple dates of visit to the school, etc etc etc.
I used Query to import the data into Excel and then run mail merges or
whatever.  The geek who tried to show me Access would do it better failed to
realise that his method depended on knowing how to operate Access!

I've stuck with Excel ever since!!  LOL
