I set up an ODBC for the Access database and then added a tablequery in the
Excel worksheet. So far that is working great and is getting what I need.
Surprisingly, the query takes seconds to run which is faster than what I
expected. I am not sure though how it will work across a network. Hopefully
the retrieval rate will not change too much.

Thanks for your inputs. They have been helpful.

Using VBA, I want to query an Access database table which has 240,000
records. The data I am quering for is from a worksheet (sheet1) and I would
like the results stored in an Excel worksheet (sheet2). The results from the
query will be only a few thousand records, never greater than 10,000. The
Access db and Excel sheet are on the same PC. Eventually I will need to query
the Access DB from a different PC across a network.
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks,
