That "Excel is required" thing is kinda a deal breaker for me. I don't have Excel on my computer at all. In fact, I don't any microsoft office programs on my computer!
I use OpenOffice.Org for all my document and spreadsheet needs.
I realize that doing so at this point would most likely require a major overhaul of your code, but you should look into using an embedded MySQL database engine or something like SQLite instead of Excel to store your data.
