Because it's a tool they know how to use.

What I wonder is why people use the POS application Access when there
are so many better database apps out there...<g>

But it's the same reason - they learned to use it, and it does what
they're willing to spend their time and money on.

If you REALLY want to change things in your company, write an Access app
that replaces the XL workbooks they use now, and demonstrate its
superiority, both in function and in cost. Be sure to include the cost
of retraining. If you can show a net efficiency, you may make some
headway.
