Hi JR,

You could use the External Data feature of excel (menu Data External Data
New Database Query...).

Once data is loaded, click on the data. Now, there should be a Query toolbar
and additional commands in the menu Data External Data ... with
additional options/settings.
Eg: you can set the query as a background query, to refresh every x minutes,
when the file opens...

This feature may not be flexible enough though. In this case, please let us
know in detail what you are try to accomplish.

I am new to anything in excel other than the standard worksheets.

I need to create a template in excel that will pull information from my
access database. I have no idea as to how to accomplish this.

Can you give me any direction?
Thank you,
