Excel or Access for surgery booking system?

It's super helpful in that I'm thinking i shouldn't waste my time learning access and creating something which they'll just break!

I do suspect that there might be objections to using an online system. It shouldn't be this complicated! We used to use a paper diary and they'd all just stick stickers into it with patients details and then write a bit of extra info. Now all they need to do is the same but in excel. I'm just a bit stumped.

Someone mentioned forms in excel, I wonder if that could be a solution... Though it still wouldn't solve the locking each other out thing. Baffled.

Thanks for replying.
