[AccessD] OT: Survey

Hi Gary:

According to stats there is more data stored in Excel spreadsheets than all
databases combined hence the focus on that product. Relational databases are
too complex for many managers and accountants.

Well I wouldn't myself but my users would. Excel is the preferred
output format for all the queries I run. I have to split things into
multiple files pretty often. Access scares them so they use Excel
essentially as a database and so run up against the row limit pretty
often.
