Excel/Access link - changing records
- Thread starter bergis
- Start date
Create a live link to the table or query from within excel,
From excel click Data>Get External Data>New Database Query>....the choose msaccess databases* from the list...follow the wizard from there (to select your mdb, table or query)
then return your data to excel.
You can opt to use the wizard or MsQuery (a gui type interface, similar to access)at this point...
after your comfy with this...I would recommend the MsQuery option.
when data is returned,...you can right click in the data and select properties to refresh on open...auto fill formulas etc.
this is now a live link, any time the workbook is opened. your current / up to date access data comes in (if you set the refresh on open option)
