Limitations of sharing a XLS

[MSNews]

We have a monthly job log in excel that is shared by up to 20 users. They
are constantly in and out,making changes. Lately it has been getting
numbers in wrong colums/rows. I dont believe excel was made for this and
it is just being overtaxed. Am I wrong? we dont see any other issues,
network etc... Is there a document
or best practices I could take to managament to convince them to give up
this old technique of logging job data?

thanks

I've never seen excel put stuff in the wrong columns/rows.

But I have seen lots of users put stuff in the wrong columns/rows.

I have read recently about many project management sites that allow
many, many users to update jobs, data, spreadsheets remotely. search
google for "project management websites" and I bet you'll find the
solution!
