It is possible to do through VBA but it is not a great project for the
newcomer to VBA or the faint of heart. There is a fair bit to it, if you mean
writing back to the Access database. If you just need to retrieve some data
from Access give this link a look. There are some downloads for you to play
with.

Thanks.
