Go into Access from Excel via DataGet External DataNew database query...

Once you have set this up, you can take the same menu options and just press
the ! mark and the data will refresh with the up to date data

I have two reports in Access one is and output to and the other is
exported.
I am trying to figure out which one to use so my columns (data) will be
updated when the user clicks the automated button. I noticed the export to
excel does not update but the output to does. I have two questions

1. Is there a easy way to update the data based of Access report export?
2. If not I can use the output to but I need to find out how to
automatically align the columns when the new data is entered.

Am I taking the hard way or is there an easier way to export updated
reprts
to Excel?

Please help I am a newbe in Excel.
