I have a spreadsheet with data, and then the details of that data is stored in an Access database. Both sets of data are stored by their unique record number. I would like to click on the record number in Excel to view the matching record in the Access form. Is this possible? Can I link Excel and Access in a way that if I click record 2 in Excel, record 2 in Access opens? Right now I have a hyperlink set up that opens up the Access form, but now I am looking for the particular record. Thank You, Ashley Roe You can do something very close to this. The link below walks through how to set up a data connection from Excel to Access. You might well have this part already covered: http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/ExternalData.htm The next link (same site) shows how you can set up a parameter query. Such a query can be made to, say, fetch the row in Access that has the unique record number in question. The parameter can be fed with a prompt or a cell in Excel that automatically triggers the query to run when you update the cell: http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/Ex...htm#Parameters Hope this helps. |
