Well, Duke, I tend to use Excel as a 'pipe' in which to transfer/convey the
data from one source to another OR to provide some calculations on various
spreadsheets that start out as an idea and end up being an application of
vast significance (at least to some people!!)
Thanks for your input. I'm already part of several newsgroups/communities
so it's hard to 'add' time into an already crowded schedule. I do, however,
peruse the various Excel, Word, Outlook, Exchange, Windows XP, Windows 2003,
SQL, communities from time to time.
