I was mostly being glib, but I've had some bad experiences with Access over the years. I actually think lightweight database and scripting utilities in Excel could be good, but it would be susceptible to some of the design traps that Access steps on.

What are the biggest design traps that Access fell into? If someone were rebuilding spreadsheets with more structured design like Access, what should they avoid?
