Well a better question is what is she doing in a spreadsheet that she shouldn't already be doing in a database? Makes little to no sense, she becomes a "SILO".
Running reports is extremely time consuming in our EHR. Then once the report is run, it's saved to a CSV. Then she uses the CSV to get the data she wants - and saves them for future lookups. I'm pretty sure this is extremely common.
Now - can the DB be made to give the exact thing she wants? possibly, for $1000's for custom reports - and they will still take ages to run compared to just doing it herself with the CSV.

The problem isn't Excel - it's that she's not closing her stuff, then the system goes offline.
We are hashing a dead horse here obviously - If you don't have anything to say other than - She just needs to close everything - then please just don't bother responding.
I already know that! -

The PROBLEM isn't Excel, but that doesn't mean that Excel is the right solution. What about Excel via Remote App?

EHR = BIG
I'm glad I'm not in that boat again haha. I create the reports and it doesn't cost 1000.00. Thank God. SaaS web service I use is Quickbase.com. -

The problem is always Excel, or Access.

The server will be needed to be reboot as well
But at least keeps the session open. -

This is why I FU%*&#^ EHR/EMR companies. Plus they cannot even get on board with Stage 2 and Stage 3 requirements. Don't get me started on the price of interfaces. Apologize for the off-topic comment but just had to get it off my chest.

@dashrender So what task management software has she used? Evernote and Todoist are pretty darn good and have different styles.
