Hi dstiefe,

A tutorial here on using pivot tables connected to databases.

My suggestion for learning databases - start with Access.

can anyone suggested a good textbook to learn how to use excel to connect
to
databases.

Also a good book to learn about the basics of databases?

Any suggestions with learning this material would be greatly appreciated.

for example some people have suggested learning more about SQL than MS
Access?

Your input would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
