Is it time to ditch that spreadsheet?

I've been saying to clients for years that spreadsheets are evil. They can start out as a good idea, especially when you just have a few records to manage. And they are highly accessible - there is almost no learning curve to typing values into cells. But it doesn't take long before someone decides to use Excel as a tool manage large volumes of data and that's when things can turn nasty.
