<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I believe in keeping it simple for the
students and use Excel. With many needing to learn Access or a database it
is a bit hard to have them learn another software type.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I find students easily learn the principles
of project management and enjoy putting it all together in Excel.</FONT></DIV>

opportunity to learn Access in 2008 then teaching a new software is OK.
Unfortunately, I do not have that luxury at RMIT where most of our students are
