Can I run my Access functions in Excel?

I wrote an Access database that tracks manufacturing data. I have some functions that query the data like this:

GetProcessYieldAvg(ProcessName, TimePeriod, StartTime, EndTime) as Double - example: PlatingProcess, Month, January 08, March 08 would return 93.8%

It returns the average monthly process yield for the Plating process between January and March.

I get a lot of requests for this type of data and I'd like to make the function available for others using Excel - so they're querying Access from Excel.

Is it possible?
 
Excel does allow you to use VBA but the commands and syntax are not identical to those used in Access. You will need to convert the functions. Check out VBA help.
