No claim. It's true.

I've also worked for a large number of small to medium enterprises as
well - from a 4-man Advertising Agency through to importing mineral
water, amd THEY didn't use macros or VBA either.
Had no need to....

How would you know? By your own admission you apparently don't stay at any
of your jobs long enough to know something like that, since you say you've
worked for "A large number of small to medium enterprises", unless you're
able to time travel or clone yourself, and you've got a limited time window
in which you could have worked for such companies (since about 1990 or 20
years) fitting a "large number" of companies means you're not at any of
them very long.

Or perhaps you were exagerating?

Nah.. that can't be it.

Because I was the Systems Accountant. And NO-BODY stays in the same job
for more than a few years these days, certainly not in the fastest
moving sectors, and because this is over a time span of TWENTY
YEARS.....

I presume you are still at your clerk's job from when you left school...

No - Excel is the only thing that businesses have been conned into
using...
