Thanks, Steve. Sounds promising. When I open the Excel spreadsheet I have to wait awhile ( 10 sec to 5 minutes depending on which spreadsheet ) so it's data will update from another database. Then I can save and close again. Can you set this type of scenario with a windows script ?
Regards, Rob

run when you start your computer, or as you start your database.

Hello, I have several excel spreadsheets linked to an ms access
database. The excel spreadsheets needs to be updated prior running the
access database so it uses the latest data. Normally I do this be
opening and then saving the spreadsheets.
The spreadsheets have names like TIMASTER ACCESS, SERVHIST ACCESS,
etc.
Is there a way I can do this automatically by doing only one or two
actions instead of opening and closing numerous spreadsheets?
Regards, Rob
