I have migrated from Query/400 to Microsoft Query feeding Excel for 99% of
my reporting requests now.  I used to give an occassional class to our
employees on Query, but now it's the "Here's what you can do with
Downloaded Data to Excel" class and it is the most successful I've ever
done.  I almost get applause when I show them Pivot Tables.
