I have created an Excel database <because our PCs dont have Access.

Neither does mine, I somehow managed to break the installation and
can't afford the time to rebuild my machine just now. And I'm
responsible for an app that is advertised as having an 'Access'
backend database!! Happily, I can get by just using ADO (actually,
I've found that I can do more with ADO than the MS Access UI allows).
Using the excuse of not having MS Access is just being defeatist <g.
