OK !coderponies - I believe I've made my feelings for Microsoft Excel well-known, but my employer has a raging hate-on for logical processes and quality software, and I want to know: is it possible to use Excel to make a web-accessible multi-user database? We're currently replicating work three, sometimes more times over because we won't move away from spreadsheets into databases. Like going to war with Nerf and Super-Soakers; good for their intended purposes, similar to the real deal, and completely godforsakenly inadequate to the task at hand. -_- tl:dr FML.

@scribus The only thing I can do is to express my deepest and most sincere condolences over your work. Using spreadsheets as a form of database is a crime against humanity and the current state of technology.

@broniebrown I've told them repeatedly. I've even outlined the wonderful system that would automate hundreds of work-hours a week by making what someone else is already doing count towards the result they want. The only thing keeping me from going ahead and cussing doing it is that I know it would be a waste of time & I'm not getting paid for it anyway.
