Good idea, what's the name of the newsgroup? ;-)

 

[Ulf Christenson]

Yes, I meant Excel, not Access! Thank you very much!
And thanks for the ng link as well!

What is an MS Access workbook anyway...?

Perhaps it's a new Microsoft formalization of the "spreadsheet database
design" antipattern... you know where we see folks cram an excel spreadsheet
into a database.

LOL!

I remember about ten years ago being asked to sit in on and evaluate an
Access training course.

The trainer began by saying "think of a database table as a bit like a
spreadsheet" - the course proceeded no further...

OH MY GOD!!! How dare he compare a table, which has columns and rows, to a
spreadsheet, which has...columns and rows...?

A better validated source

Have a look what 123 means in the name
(It does not mean quick or something like that)

But he wasn't comparing a database to a spreadsheet, he was comparing a
table to a spreadsheet. That's quite a difference.
