That's exactly what I mean by "attractive nuisance". Excel appears to
solve your problem, so you use it, and then as the problem shifts,
your spreadsheet gets more and more complicated, until it appears on
The Daily WTF. Is that really a good thing? I mean, you could have
started with pencil and paper, and that would have been even easier.
The only difference is that you outgrow paper sooner than VB, which
means porting is done on a much smaller "code"-base and is less of a
problem.
