Hi,
I have an existing table in excel, and want to link it to MS Access
(both 97 editions). The (simplified) table looks like this:

John Mary Dave
Project_A 8 6 0
Project_B 1 3 7
Project_C 2 4 5
Project_D 4 1 0

In real, I have 87 columns and 250 rows. This will turn to 87x250 rows
in Access. I need to have it in Access like:

Project_A John 8
Project_A Mary 6
Project_A Dave 0
Project_B John 1
Project_B Mary 3 etcetera....

The table is NOT created with pivot-wizard but manually.
When I use the 'obvious' option in Access to link the data, I don't
get it in the form I prefer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
