Yes, but at the time Excel didn't support concurrency either ;-)

Anyway, you are correct about the issue with concurrent writes, but that's only because Access was intended as a single user DB. If you wanted a multi-user DB you should be getting MS SQL server.

Not saying this product strategy worked (it clearly didn't, otherwise people would not be using Excel), but that's how they envisioned it to work.
