Default is it time to abandon Excel?

A few pointers:

a) Any posting with attachments is not going to be considered by many folks
in this newsgroup.

b) It's not paid for support, people may just be busy and not have the time
to help.

c) A lot of time people just post a problem and expect someone to solve it.
But if it's simply a case of "I don't know how to implement this" then many
people will not answer - generally you'll get more help if you have a go at
the problem yourself and ask for help with a specific problem ie "on line 27
I get a run time error 429 - any idea why?"

Why not try again and perhaps put more detail on the posting, in line with
the comments above?

I have now posted several times for help on a problem the I think is
possible to do in Excel but nobody seems to want to reply.

Is it because its not possible to do, or that no-one is interested?
Is it because there are attachments?
I can understand peoples concerns with viruses, so I wont use zip files
now, but I thought a jpeg to show the range of values would be ok.
Why have the functionality if no-one is going to use it?

If I get no further with this, I will have to purchase Access and solve
the problem with that.

I am sorry if I sound negative, but I had hoped this community would be
of some assistance.
