Fetch Access data from Excel
Good morning -
Tried to 'search' for help on this, but I don't think I'm using the
correct terminology....
I've built an Access database which uses 4 queries to get to the
desired data set. I've also designed an Excel workbook that takes the
result set and slices/dices it several ways -- the initital design of
this used a manual export from Access. This is where I get stuck....
My goal is to have the Excel file do all of 'the work'. When a user
opens the file, the see the 'old' data and then by pushing a button,
they're able to see the most recent data. Ideally, pushing this button
would trigger the Access database to completely update itself (ie run
all 4 sections).
How do I do this? Right now, my 'final' results in Access sit in Query
#4 -- I could easily do a 'make-table' and link Excel to this created
table. Would that be any better?
Any help at all is greatly appreciated!
Rgds, Ray
