Excel can import, but read only access may not suffice. They could get 
read-write access by simply accessing the database directly via a web 
browser. But I don't think it is really an access issue.

Based on previous incidents I think that access is not the point. Some 
people seek personal validation by doing all their computing with 
Microfoft products. They give you this deer in the headlights look 
whenever a non-MS product is mentioned.
