That's true. [Fair is fair - you've been almost as strident against MDB
files.]
However that undercuts your arguments in favor of databases. Few
business users outside IT departments have permissions to do anything
more than read company databases. The only database software SOME of
them may have is Access. They won't have MSDE installed, and they won't
have any Office product CDs with which to install it, and they likely
have company technology policies that explicitly forbid them to
download and install 'unapproved' software.
So if you want all these Excel users to switch to databases, Access
*AND* MDB are necessary stepping stones along the path. So you better
get used to giving MDB answers if you want to win any converts.
