Has anyone used the Normsinv function in Access 2000? How did you accomplish this? Thanks!

Normsinv does not exist in my help system. Even WORSE, attempting to call / execute does not reveal any arg prompt, and returns NOt found.

STRONGLY suspect this is NOT an access function.

I was actually able to accomplish this by remotely programming in excel.

In access I open up an excel worksheet object. I place the equation "=Normsinv(a1)" in cell b1. Then I open a recordset in access. I take the value K place it in cell a1. Then in access I set the variable Normsinv_k to cell b1. Then I update the recordset. Then I move to the next record.

It was slower than I would prefer (about 60,000 rows/hour) but it worked.

It would help some, to reference the excel library. If you do that, you can use the function from the application (.MDB) where the reference is. Saves having the Excel App actually running (and taming up memory).
