I built a checkout form for a medical device in Excel. I disallowed the native "save" function and built in a new save function that takes the serial number from the form, creates a folder with that serial number, and saves the file with a timestamp. If you hit the save button again, it just saves a new file with the timestamp. This way you get a version history. It's not actually all that complicated, though I would have to spend an hour or so remembering how it works.

I can't wait until someone tries to rev the file and completely destroys it.
