Hi

I am attempting to link an Excel spreadsheet to my Access database. I was wondering what I should do to join the tables so that whatever is typed into the Access table is automatically printed into the Excel spreadsheet any help would be appreciated...Thanx! :)
 
Access handles Excel tables directly, provded you set them up as linked tables. Create a new table, selct link table, select Access as the type and you'll be preompted through what you have to do.

Be aware that there are some anomalies, reagrding data type. Excel doesn't distinguish in precisely the same way as Access, but experiment to find what suits you.
