RE: System development in Excel

Don't do it!
You may end up making a rod for your own back.  Use a real database   
language (for single users something like MS Access is ideal) instead.   
 It's almost as easy to use and because you don't have to program around   
the limitations of spreadsheets you will have much greater flexibility   
later on to change things or try new ideas.  Excel looks like you can   
create good results quickly but later on you realise you've created a   
spider web which is just too hard to manage.
