Default Excel database

Tom: Read my response. Jo wants to have a history of the data sent to access.
either Jo need to save the worksheets each day under a different name or
send different rows of data each day to the access db.

Maybe Jo should arrange worksheet so first day data is on rows 1 - 10.
Second day data is on rows 21 - 30. Third day data on rows 41-50. Then
select range of data to send to access before running macro. Macro will use
selected cells?

Sure, just write the code that writes the data to your database (assume Access)

Folks:


I have a small spreadsheet consising of 5 columns & 10 rows of information.
Each day I manually update this spreadsheet so I end up with a new set of
data in the rows & columns.
But this means that the previous day's data is lost.

* Is there a way to create (then save) each day's data to a database so
that I can always go back to check on the old data ?

When I enter data in the spreadsheet, it should get stored in this database.
The spreadsheet is merely acting like a FORM thru which data gets sent to
the database.



Thanks,
Jo..
