Aaron,

What are you trying to prove! If you don't have anything good to say
it would be better to say nothing at all. This is a support forum not
a "Soap Box".

this isn't a support forum.

this isn't a soap box.

i'm here to tell you that the idea of creatign a dozen spreadsheets to
create a simple report?
it's just not necessary.

if you MUST pull data out of a database into a spreadsheet; then you
should be using Analysis Services and PivotTables.

but my webbased pivotTables are more powerful; i mean-- if multiple
people VIEW the same report at the same time; there isn't an issue.

having a different copy of the report in 100 different places; where
every single end user can change a single function?

it's just not an enterprise level solution.

Excel is a speedbump; drive around it.
