Our systems went down for about 2-3 hours today, right in the middle of running macros for month-end. And the whole dynamic of the situation, of using macros, and how it would be more efficient to have a program run the process instead of locking out computers came up.
It's interesting, although the company is relatively stable, we're still using macros on excel to do our work, when it is evident that people should be creating programs to run the same process. The only drawback is having to create the program... which would take a long time. Or it was suggested that the programs not run on our local computers... but somehow the programs are still loaded onto our local computers, and when macros need to be run for month/quarter/half-year/year end, nearly all activity becomes impossible, because we need excel to do a lot of our work.
I wonder why no one has thought to fix this, or anyone with the capability to...
