counter question: Do you want the people that butcher Excel spreadsheets into abominations to be let loose on your database?
The key advantage of a database ti have everything in one place is also its greatest danger.
You make forms that talk to the dBASE, you don't give them actual dBASE access
No, I will give them a separate one, and when they make a mess out of it, I'll make it known, then fix it without any hurry, then they make another kind of mess, I make it known, fix it with no hurry, then... at some point either they learn (because they make efforts or because get told to by superior management), or I reach the conclusion that working here isn't worth it and move on
